The Best Churches in Raleigh

St. Paul of the Cross Passionist Priests have really brought the community together. Confession with the priests, which are now heard daily, are truly compassionate and wonderful. They have added additional services and confession for spanish speakers. They are striving to unite both english and spanish into a cohesive community.

I’ve been a parishioner at St. Francis for 8 years. The Friars are the most welcoming and caring brothers of St. Francis of Assisi. My Godson and his siblings attend the school, and what a wonderful school community it is with such a well rounded curriculum. Even though I teach at another diocesan school, I return to St. Francis weekly for Mass and the community oriented focus of the church. It is a wonderful Catholic Church to attend Mass and become involved in many ways.

I started attending St. Raphael when I moved to Raleigh. It has quickly become my favorite church! I recently registered to become an official member and I couldn't be more excited. Father Hurley is amazing! His messages carry such relevant information and in such a down to earth manner. The other priests are equally good at presenting the message. I'm glad I came across this church and I look forward to being a member and becoming more active.
