Welcome to the Cathedral of St. Raphael - St. Patrick Web Site

Thank you for visiting our web site. We at St. Raphael's and St. Patrick's are just beginning our journey together. This is the old St. Raphael website dressing up in new clothes. The enterprise of building a new web site will begin soon, but until then, please bear with us. We will do our best to have our individual sites present the most accurate information. You may find our sister website for St. Patrick's helpful. If you need help, are confused or have any questions, please contact our staff.
