Raphael's Blessed Oil

I’d like to tell you about an amazing priest, Father Joe Whalen, presently assigned to St. James Church in Danielson, CT. His ministries are many and he is a champion of the sick, the elderly, families, drug addicts and alcoholics. Fr. Whalen has conducted many healing services worldwide and his St. Raphael Holy Healing Oil ministry is international. 

Father Joe prepares the Holy Oil with his core group several times a year, using olive oil from Italy, and dried rose petals from various shrines.  During this time, he reads the entire book of Tobit (not included in Protestant Bibles), hears confessions, says Holy mass over the oil and blesses it, then conducts a healing service.  The oil is then put into little bottles and sent to people who have requested it.  In Hebrew, “Raphael” means “medicine of God,” and many healings have been reported from people who have used the holy oil.  If you have an ill loved one (and he/she does NOT have to be Catholic), you can receive a prayer card and some oil by contacting Father Joe Whalen, M. S., St. James Church, 12 Franklin Street, Danielson CT 06239. Holy oil can never be sold, but if you can make a donation to cover the cost of postage or further the ministry, that’s fine. If you can’t, no problem.  The Archangel Raphael loves all God’s children
