'St. Raphael' honored with Mass, dinner

Parishioners of St. Raphael Parish in Syracuse gathered in their church yard Sunday, Sept. 28 to celebrate the Feast of St. Raphael. Twenty-six years ago the parish decided to celebrate an outdoor Mass each year in honor of the feast day and in thanksgiving for the harvest. Father Michael Helms (top, left) celebrated the Mass (left), which was followed by a covered dish dinner (bottom, left).
