Social Organizations:

Our Lady's Sodality

This is a women's spiritual and social organization.  Members meet monthly for Mass in honor of our Blessed Mother.  This Mass is usually the first Tuesday of the month.  The Sodality has events such as a Living Rosary, Craft Night, Pot Luck Dinner, Communion Breakfast and several other religious and social functions throughout the year.  There are approximately 336 members.

Senior Social Club

This club was formed to provide periodic gatherings of Saint Raphael parishioners age sixty or over in order to encourage and foster friendship and goodwill among our seniors. Meetings are on the third Wednesday of each month at 1:30 P.M. in the Parish Center.  The club, other than its social functions, supports "Reach Out" programs such as the Food Pantry, gifts for those confined in the nursing homes, clothing for the Saint Francis House.  Club members extend a warm invitation to other seniors to come and enjoy. The Parish Center is handicapped accessible.

Their programs involve Church, family, community, youth and insurance- including the annual "Tootsie Roll Drive" to raise funds for handicapped children in Massachusetts.
