An ACTS Retreat is a parish-based event which offers parishioners an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus Christ. This in turn fosters a desire for intentional discipleship. ACTS Retreats are given by parishioners for parishioners, and in this way, serve to build Christian community at a parish.

MEN'S ASSOCIATION
For over 40 years, the St. Raphael Men’s Association has been assisting St. Raphael Parish Church, St. Raphael Parochial School, and members of the St. Raphael community, both monetarily and through good old-fashioned hard work. Every year, the Men’s Association raises $15,000 to $20,000 to provide scholarships and other necessities to St. Raphael School, to help ensure that Religious Formation continues to provide quality catechesis for our youth, and to help our fellow Christians in need via donations to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Whenever needed by a St. Raphael group or ministry, the Men’s Association never hesitates to jump right in and volunteer manpower or assist with a monetary donation.
