Cathedral Windows
The Sacred Story
For as many times as you have proclaimed the Apostles Creed, have you ever wondered which Scripture stories connect to each article? When you last looked closely at our Cathedral windows, what details stood out for you? What Bible stories did you recognize in the medallions? There is life in our Cathedral windows; life that is calling to us. How do we begin to discover the treasures? We patiently practice Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) and Visio Divina (Divine Seeing). These prayer forms can help us recognize God's indwelling presence; God's desire for us to know him intimately;
Download Our Parish App!
This app is available for parishioners to download on both Apple and Android phones. We expect the features and capabilities of our app to foster a stronger sense of community and faith in the daily lives of all parishioners. St. Raymond will be able to communicate quick and easy with all parishioners via messages and notifications to keep you in the loop with what is going on in our parish.
St. Raymond School offers a rigorous learning experience that develops the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally, physically and spiritually – through high expectations for academics and character, a supportive and loving community, and a focus on faith that prepares our students to make the world a better place.
At St. Raymond School, we are very proud of our teachers and staff, not only for how they work every day to ensure our students are learning and growing into their best selves, but also for how they model this learning by pushing themselves to grow as well.
When you choose St. Raymond for your family, you are choosing to be part of a community – a community that includes engaged and dedicated parents who partner with the school in the education of their children. St. Raymond parents believe in our mission and want the best for their children, so volunteering at school comes naturally. St. Raymond does not keep parents at a distance; rather, parents are invited and encouraged to share their time, their talent and their treasure to make St. Ray’s the amazing place that it is. And we really couldn’t do it without them!
