​We Welcome You!

We know how awkward it can feel
to come to an unfamiliar church. 
​We hope to help you feel comfortable. 

COVID-19 Information

There are no attendance restrictions at St. Raphael Church. Masks are welcome and available if you wish to use one. We are holding Sunday School and Coffee Hour as usual. Services continue to be live-streamed on our Facebook page. 

Come to a service
See a map to our church below, and explanations of these services on the About Us page.

• Vespers, Saturdays, 5 p.m.
• Matins, Sundays, 8:45 a.m. 
• Divine Liturgy, Sundays, 10 a.m. 

Parking is available on both sides of the street on Sundays. Or, you can park at the Chauncey Swan ramp located 2.5 blocks west of the church on College Street (it's free on Sundays). We have one handicapped spot available directly in front of the church.

If it's your first time visiting an Orthodox church ....

• See the map below to find your way to our church.
• Read our Visitor FAQs page, where you'll find the answers to questions most people unfamiliar with Orthodox services ask.
• Talk with our priest, Father Ignatius, either after the service or by phone or email. He loves answering questions about Orthodoxy.
• If you aren't greeted at the door, come into the nave (sanctuary) and enjoy the service. Don't worry; we aren't going to kick you out if you do something "wrong"!
• Join us for coffee hour downstairs after the service (it's the "liturgy after the Liturgy").

 If you're Orthodox ...
You may find we do some things differently than you're used to, though much will likely be the same. If you have questions, ask Father Ignatius.
