This week begins a Did You Know series about the history of the parish. Featured information comes from parish historians Judy Chapleau and Marjorie Peters, as well as the 1996 book, 150 Years of Sharing the Word, which is part of the Naperville Heritage Collection on the Illinois Digital Archives.
DID YOU KNOW?
In 1846 a group of families, primarily from German-speaking areas of Europe and Alsace, France, established a Catholic parish in Naperville. Some of the early pastors shared a regional kinship with these families. However, our founding pastor, Reverend Raphael Rainaldi, was from Italy. He named the new parish Saint Raphael in honor of his patron saint.
