We are excited to announce the new St. Raphael cremation Niche Columbaria project on the Parish grounds. The new columbaria niches allow the committal of cremated remains in a final resting place on Holy ground amongst our St. Raphael parish community.

For the first time, we are now able to offer NON-Registered parishioners the opportunity to have their remains interred at St. Raphael. 


Your purchase of a niche helps support St. Raphael and the Diocese community.
