We Need Your Support
We have come a long way, but there’s still work to do; we will continue refurbishing and renovating our 50-year-old buildings and at the same time creating an inviting and spiritual landscape. A lush outdoor living space that supports the mission of Saint Raphael’s to promote spiritual enrichment in a welcoming environment.
Please remember that your generosity will make a difference in our Ministry and will directly benefit over 5,000 individuals who visit the Saint Raphael Retreat Center every year.
Please help us make our vision a reality! Your generosity is very appreciated.
THESE ARE THE INITIATIVES WE ARE WORKING ON:
Saint Raphael
Community Partner
We are looking for community partners, companies or organizations that help us create an outdoor oasis for guest’s enjoyment, a place for connecting people to God and each other. We need your expertise and your in-kind donations.
To Learn how to become a Community Partner Program, please reach out to us.
THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS!
Complete Landscaping
Complete Landsculpture is an inaugural Community Partner offering landscape design and renderings for Phase I upgrades and providing ongoing advisement on campus beautification, water conservation, product sourcing, and outdoor event staging. Chris Strempek, founder and president of Complete Landsculpture, says, “We are excited to be a part of the green initiative at St. Raphael’s. It is by God’s design that we can reconnect people with elements of natures.”
Noe Avila, Architect
We are blessed to work with you. We appreciate your participation.
Bless This House
Bless This House is a project that relies on private donations and fund-raising efforts. With the generous support of those who care, we are changing one home at a time.
We are inviting our friends, groups, parishes and individuals to continue participating in this wonderful project. Our houses are looking nicer every day; however, we still need to complete this wonderful project by renovating the bathrooms in all the casas and adding plants and flowers around them.
Leave a Living Legacy
We want to enhance our 13-acre campus with attention to tree diversity and natural beauty. The Holy Father Pope Francis though his encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’ encourages individual and collective responsibilities in his ‘call for immediate action to protect our common home,’ and we are doing our part in the Saint Raphael Retreat Center. A variety of trees will provide many natural benefits – for clear air, habitat for birds and wildlife, and outdoor beauty. It is by God’s design that we can reconnect people with elements of nature. If you want to give a gift of green to show appreciation for nature, please help us. Your donation will be applied to General Projects.
