- Description: When Saint Benedict tells the monks in his Holy Rule “all guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ,†(RB 53:1) he wants to show us that those who come to our door summon us to practical charity, mutual respect and human solidarity. Each week, between 40 to 60 individuals and families in need receive assistance from the Saint Raphael Food Pantry and Hope Chest, a visible witness of how Christ’s command to “love one another as I have love you†is taken up by our parish, inspired by Saint Benedict’s guide to Gospel-living (John 13:34-35). Since 1989, Saint Raphael Parish, a Benedictine parish under the care of Saint Anselm Abbey, has sponsored its food pantry.
