Saint Raphael Parish Statement on Violence Toward Asians and Asian Americans

The Parish Family of Saint Raphael Parish, embracing the teaching of the Catholic Church that “[E]very form of social or cultural discrimination in fundamental personal rights on the grounds of sex, race, color, social conditions, language, or religion must be curbed and eradicated as incompatible with God’s design” raises it voice in solidarity with all others calling for an end to all racist acts, attitudes and behavior directed against any human beings and, in light of current murders and violence targeting people of Asian ancestry, we pray most especially for our Asian sisters and brothers. Mary Queen of Peace, Pray for Us.

Dear Cardinal Sean,

We are blessed to offer to you our parish pastoral plan for Saint Raphael Parish in Medford, Massachusetts. We thoughtfully understand our responsibility as a stand alone collaborative, and embrace our role in the New Evangelization to create Disciples in Mission.

This plan is the collaboration of a diverse group of volunteers from throughout the parish, who have worked passionately and tirelessly to draw from various experiences within the parish. It reflects many hours of discussion and debate, information gathering and synthesizing, and most importantly prayer.

Our Plan Writing Team Members include:

Mary Brennan Bill Caddigan Ralph DeNisco Kaitlyn Feeney
Rosemarie Giovino Katie LeLacheur Aaron Lindaman Jackie Madigan
Frank O'Leary Maria Scott Alisa Simmons Ryan Stewart
Kathy Travers

We also recognize and thank Chris Donoghue, Evangelization Consultant from the Archdiocese of Boston and Jen DeNisco, Saint Raphael Parish Disciples in Mission Coordinator for their guidance throughout this process.

Saint Raphael Parish has continually been a vibrant and engaged community of believers, but even with this, we recognize our ability to grow and improve as a people of faith. Our pastoral plan highlights four goal areas on which to focus over the next three years, while we continue to do our best in every aspect of parish life.

As with any endeavor, prayer must be the first and most focal point of accomplishing our goals. For without the guidance and blessing of Jesus Christ, we would be lost.

We ask for your prayers, as we ask for the prayers and support from each member of our parish.

God Bless,

Reverend Paul Coughlin

Our Mission

“Saint Raphael is a Catholic community committed, with God’s grace, to living gospel values and sharing these with all people. As a Eucharistic people united in faith and worship, we affirm the gifts of the Spirit among us and celebrate the uniqueness of each of our members. Supporting one another in love, we strive to respect and use these diverse gifts in joyful service to those within our parish and beyond.”

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. Embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
