From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly faces, coffee and a box of donuts. Everyone was welcoming and genuinely kind. The sense of community was very real. Pastor Bobby was great. His message was thoughtful, well-prepared, and insightful. You could tell he cares deeply about the people he's speaking to and Jesus. He graciously offered for my wife to take home a free Bible from the stands. A Bible which we treasure. We're thankful we had the opportunity to visit and experience the church, even if it was just for a weekend. If you're in the Santa Barbara area and looking for a church, it's definitely worth stopping by.

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!

The larger indoor area would work well for a reception, and even a wedding, although one of my absolute favorite parts of this venue is the gorgeous little zen garden, which would be my ideal spot for a ceremony. It's just a short walk down the hill and you're rewarded with a peaceful little oasis. Such a cool venue, had no idea it was there and hope to be able to be back to enjoy the venue again one day!
