It has exceeded our expectations and our two little ones love the youth ministry. They ask mid-week when it's church day. Hope states that ALL are welcomed, and it is so true. It is a non-judge mental or pushy church that is open to anyone regardless of where you are in your spiritual journey. The leaders are so approachable and available for discussion if needed. We are proud to call ourselves members of Hope Church.

Following the service, coffee hour is a time to catch up with your church family who also like to keep an eye out for visitors!

St. Raphael's was my family's church growing up. I have many fond memories here…read more The church building itself dates back to the 1960s I believe. It's adorned with beautiful stained glass windows which cast the most breathtaking glow during morning mass. The facilities are immaculately clean and are outfitted for large groups. I've been here for masses, baptisms (including my own), memorial services, and holiday events. All were executed very well. The church also has a parish hall, a Sunday school program, a catechism program, a choir, a youth group, and many other extracurricular events. There's also a K-8 private school, ample parking, and the most beautiful rose garden. You'll even find a Cub Scout Christmas tree stand here during the holiday season. I was personally a part of their junior high youth group, and I was an altar server at the 9:30am Sunday mass for about five years. The programs were well-organized and offered a real sense of community and camaraderie. I always felt welcomed as a member of this church. A good Catholic program overall.

Steve Downes became Pastor. I loved my years at St. Raphael's, I believe I was there as an Associate for 8 years. I have many great memories of the people there. They are truly a family and so warm and welcoming. I learned how to celebrate Mass in Spanish there and although I made many mistakes the people helped me along and gently corrected me in private. Fr. Downes is an excellent example of a Servant Pastor who worked hard to make sure the parish was well run and the people were served. Some of my fondest memories of Priesthood are of St. Raphael's, even a little meeting that happens 6 days a week in a little room on the north side of the Church building at 6:45 am. I visited there a couple of weeks ago. Jesus is alive and working in that Parish!
