Welcome to a new year of religious education!

You have been blessed with a child, a marvelous gift from our loving God. There have been many blessings in nurturing this precious gift as well as some challenges. It is very important to raise your child to know how wonderful God is, that God is always there to hear their prayers, always calling each one to a closer relationship. Your responsibility as a parent or guardian is to nurture this relationship so your child always feels comfortable turning to our caring God. You are already doing this! And we, as a parish community are committed to supporting you.

It is a privilege to have your family in our religious education program. Together, we can provide prayerful experiences, solid formation, and opportunities to see God as the center of all we do. Come, let us work and pray together! What a marvelous thing to do!

Blessings to you,

Denise Klimas

Welcome to another wonderful Spirit filled year of Religious Education here at St. Raymond's! Our aim is to support you, the parent, in any way we can in bringing your child to God. We can all do this through many ways; different prayer experiences, textbook learning, active participation in weekly liturgy, service to others in our community and the world at large, always striving to see God in each and every one of us. St. Paul tells us that we are many parts but all one body; let all of us with our many varied gifts come together as one body of Christ!

Peace
