Sr. Elizabeth Fries (left) becomes Executive Director. In a letter from our annual report that year, Fries said, “It is our desire and our hope that for those children who have passed through the door of Raphael House, their experience here will always remain with them, a shining memory in their hearts.”
At 90 years old, Mrs. Ella Rigney (right) also continues to live and work at Raphael House as Director Emeritus.
During this year, the Raphael House Thrift Store on Fillmore Street opens.
