groceries. On March 26, we served 32 families and gave out 63 bags.

Toes are tapping and plans are developing! THE NEW SAINT RAPH-AEL FOLLIES will return May 4-5 at the Dana

Center of Saint Anselm College. If you’re planning an act, we want to hear from you! Guys, there’s a place for you in Best Foot Forward! Please call the rectory at 623.2604 to let us know you’re ready to help!

Roots/Routes of Faith - Save the Dates! Our next

major pilgrimage destination will be the Danube River Pilgrim-

age. Our Saint Raphael travel program is organizing a trip for

October 16-28, featuring Prague, Regensburg, Passau, Salz-

burg, Gottweig, Melk, Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest. Now is the time

to begin saving and planning. Final price and itinerary will be forthcoming

in early April. If you haven’t traveled with us yet, it’s, well, quite a trip!

Remember the old Saint Raphael Penny Sale?! What a good time it was for everyone! Know what? It’s coming back as a Holiday Fair, one that will need everyone’s help. We have lots of ideas, but need to hear yours too. We have set the week-end of Nov. 2-4 as our expected date. Do you like

to make knitted goods, sewn goods and other crafts? Woodworking? Baked goods? Are you interested in a white elephant table or a religious artifacts table? Want to help serve meals? Do you have ideas for the event? Watch for further info on a planning meeting to be scheduled.
