Adopt-A-Family Program
Dear Parishioners,
It's the time of year when our Adopt-A-Family Program kicks off. This program is an Advent tradition at St. Raphael that allows parish members to get involved and "make Christmas happen" for underprivileged families. These are children and adults who, without our help, might not celebrate Christmas with presents.
This year, opportunities to adopt full families as well as purchase specific individual gifts will be offered. Tags with single gift item requests will be available in the Gathering Area and Good Shepherd Square beginning November 21. All gifts must be returned by SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13. Please click on the link below to view the full families that are available to adopt.
If you are unable to shop, but would still like to participate, monetary donations are also greatly appreciated. Please utilize the online giving portal on the parish website by choosing the “Social Concerns Ministry” fund. Monetary donations can also be mailed or dropped off at the Parish Office. Checks should be made out to “St. Raphael Parish” with “Adopt-A-Family” in the memo line.
We are also asking for drivers to assist with delivering the gifts on Monday, December 15. That link is also available below.
For questions, please contact us at: socialconcernsministry@saintraphaelparish.com. We thank you for your continued outpouring of support for everything our parish does for those in need. May God bless you and your entire family this holiday season!
Sincerely,
The Social Concerns Ministry
