Pledge envelopes are still available in the church, or you can use the envelope you received in the mail from the diocese. We also welcome online gifts at jolietdioceseappeal.org.

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!
