COVID-19 Protocols
Last week, Bishop Parkes reiterated that the parishes will continue to follow the Mass Protocols established in early May. We at St. Raphael have had these in effect and will continue to follow the Bishop’s directives to continue as is.
Beginning October 12, we will allow many of our routine groups to begin regular weekly or monthly activity, however, they will be subject to follow the guidelines for meeting room use that have been established. Most critical is that we have established a maximum number of people and are requesting that proper sanitation steps be followed after every meeting. Please read the Covid-19 Guidelines before filling out a facility request form. Thank You!
Use this form for events taking place between July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021
