The Preferences provide a horizon, a point of reference for using the resources we have at hand to serve the greater glory of God. They capture our imaginations and awaken our desires. They unite us in our mission. The Preferences are four areas vital for our world today. As a Jesuit parish, we heed the call to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and implement actions that address the real-world issues that the Apostolic Preferences embrace. At Saint Raphael, we want to make a Gospel difference. We invite you to learn more and take action with us!
Over the next four weeks look for more information about each Preference and the ways that we are implementing them at our parish.
