Welcome to St. Raymond Religious Education! We are excited to be a part of your family's faith journey. Supporting parents in their role as their child's first educators of our Catholic faith is an essential component of our Faith Formation program. The team is here to encourage and equip parents/guardians as you model our faith and nurture your child(ren)'s spiritual growth in your homes.
By participating in Religious Education, your family shares in our Parish Mission of REJOICING IN GOD'S LOVE FOR US and SHARING GOD'S LOVE WITH ALL. This mission is realized by collaborating with the parish staff and catechists to build a community of families actively participating in formation lessons (in-person or home study), Family Faith & Service opportunities, and weekly Mass. Together, we walk with your child(ren) as they form a relationship with Jesus, knowing His love for them, and helping them to share His love with others.
We rely on parental involvement to help make our program successful and strongly recommend students participate in religious education every year to receive a more well-rounded formation in our Catholic Faith.
