Saint Raphael Parish

We need YOU to join us in our Mission to help teens encounter Christ!

YOUR SUPPORT helps us to engage each and every high school and middle school teen at the parish (more than 1,000 young people!), to experience the love of Jesus through the love and community of Saint Raphael Parish and the efforts of our High School and Middle School Ministries. 

We need you to join us in our mission of helping teens encounter Christ. We want to be able to offer them the ability to connect deeply on retreat, to grow in faith at camps and events, and to be overwhelmed by the experience of 15,000 youth worshipping together at NCYC. Will you make the difference in the lives of our young people?

Our biggest event is the National Catholic Youth Conference, which takes place every 2 years. The cost per person is around $750 (for the Conference Fee, Bussing, Accommodations, and Meals). We have sent 70 teens to the last 3 NCYCs. It is only through your support and generosity that this event is made possible to the many teens of our parish. Thank you for your support of our mission!

Who We Are

We are a vibrant Catholic faith community of over 3800 families.  We stay centered in the Eucharist and are committed to living a welcoming faith of love and service to all.  From our Bay Village campus, we give witness to the great treasure to be found in Christ, to his abundant riches, and to the love of God for every person.  Our various ministries strive to continue the work of the Lord by enriching community life, educating youth and adults, offering friendship with Christ through evangelization, outreach to the poor, opportunities to develop the spiritual life, and reverent praise and worship of our loving God.
