Happy Feast of St. Raphael
18
Today is the traditional feast of St. Raphael.
He is the patron saint of happy meetings, and the patron saint of CatholicMatch. We like to celebrate him today so that he gets a feast day all to himself...and doesn't have to share with the other archangels on September 29th!
