This is an invitation for you to impact the future of the Parish of
St. Raphael the Archangel. I invite your participation in a group of donors to the parish called the “Arcangelo Society” (“Archangel”). Your kindness in making this parish a benefactor in your estate planning or other methods of financial giving will initiate your membership.
As you may be aware, in addition to the attention to regular parish program and staff expenses, the care of our facilities requires funding that is healthy and regularly accessible.
The “Arcangelo Society” is a planned giving program that encourages parishioners and friends of our parish to help assure its solid financial future. Those who wish to become members of “Arcangelo” can do so by making a gift either during their lifetime or through their estate.
A bequest may be made in your name or in memory of a loved one.
By way of appreciation for your kindness, members of “Arcangelo” will be remembered in the celebration of the Mass on Christmas and Easter as well as the Solemn Feast of the Archangels (September 29). Those who do not wish to remain anonymous will be listed occasionally in the parish bulletin and other promotional pieces.
Further information can be obtained by contacting me at the Parish Administrative Center: 412-857-5356 or by email. All inquiries will, of course, be kept strictly confidential. If you have already made a bequest or other planned gift benefiting
St. Raphael Parish, please call so that I can thank you and enroll you in Arcangelo.
I hope that you will consider making the “Arcangelo Society” a part of your special participation in the future life of this wonderful parish.
-Reverend Robert J. Grecco
