PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
We the people of St. Raphael Roman Catholic Church
bring together diverse gifts and backgrounds to form a growing vibrant community
centered in the Eucharist, the source and sign of our unity.
In pilgrimage to the Kingdom of God, our mission is to demonstrate
God's presence and love through: worshipping together, spreading the Good News,
serving others, and enjoying Christ-Centered activities.
Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are committed to sharing our time, our talents, and our treasures to fulfill
God's will for our parish.
June 23, 2019 SOLEMNITY OF THE BODY & BLOOD OF CHRIST
Pastor: Rev. John Connell
Associate Pastors: Rev. Daniel Ramos
Rev. Jon Miskin
Deacons: Dc. Chuck Marino Dc. Dan Cashman Dc. Jesus Ramos
Dc. Daniel Velasco
LUKE 9:11B-17 (Genesis 14:18-20; Psalm 110; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
KEY VERSE: "They all ate until they had enough" (v.17).
TO KNOW: The feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle story
mentioned in each of the four Gospels, which emphasizes its importance
as foreshadowing the Eucharist. When Jesus sent his disciples out to pro-
claim the reign of God, he told them to "take nothing for the journey"
(Lk.9:3). Just as Israel had to learn to depend on God for their daily needs,
Jesus' disciples must trust in God's providence. As a parable in action, Jesus
multiplied the bread in the wilderness and fed the multitude. Jesus' four
Eucharistic acts sum up every aspect of his life. Just as he takes, blesses,
breaks, and shares the bread with the people, Jesus takes God's revelation,
blesses it by his words and deeds, offers his body and blood on the cross,
and shares God's life with the world. Jesus is our daily bread, our nourish-
ment on our journey to God's kingdom. His precious blood sacrificed on
our behalf gives us everlasting life.
TO LOVE: In what ways does our parish care for the hungry poor?
TO SERVE: Lord Jesus, fill me with your life-giving food so that I may
feed others.
NOTE: The Church is the body and blood of Jesus Christ on earth. The
Late Fr. Anthony DeMello once saw a starving child shivering in the cold.
Angrily he looked up and said, "God, how could you allow such suffering?
Why don't you do something?" There was a long silence, and then
Fr. DeMello heard these words, "I did...I made you!"
We are so glad you joined us! If you are new to our parish, we would like to invite you
to become a member. The Welcome Booth in the vestibule is open the first full weekend of every month or come by the Parish Office.

Summer is here!
For many food insecure families this means the
added burden of children at home all day without school provided
lunches and snacks. The need for additional help with groceries arises and we are called
to serve. Please make an effort to donate quick-fix breakfast and lunch and items such
as cereal, pop-tarts, instant breakfast envelopes, dry powdered milk, oatmeal, canned
soup, peanut butter, canned chicken, canned tuna, mustard, mayonnaise and other easy
meal items so children spending the days at home may be able to prepare breakfast and
lunch for themselves. As we come together to help those in need, thank you for your
generosity!
