Raphael is the name of an archangel that appears only in the apocryphal Book of Tobit. The Book of Tobit describes Raphael as miraculously curing Tobit's blindness, but before we should accept that this really occurred we should consider whether Tobitwas a work of fiction or a genuine history.
The book is accepted as deuterocanonical by the Catholic Church, meaning that it is thought inspired but not in the same way as the canonical books, but not accepted as such by Judaism or most Protestant Churches. The Book of Tobit contains many historical elements which seem to contradict the information contained in extra-Biblical records, and many modern scholars regard it more as a religious novel. Michaela Davey (Mastering Theology) describes the book as a novella.
Catholic Answer Yes, Saint Raphael, one of the three archangels mentioned in The Bible (including St. Gabriel and St. Michael) is mostly famous for his healings especially in the Jewish faith due to his healings in the apocrypha book of Enoch. But his healings in the Bible are considered miraculous as well.
