Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal

Thought the CMAA, we show generosity toward the most vulnerable members of our community. We also benefit, as a parish, from the many ministries the CMAA supports, that touch our own lives and the lives of our fellow parishioners. Ministries that include vocations, Catholic education, & faith formation.  Our parish goal is $ 73,500. The diocese will return 70% of any amount we raise over our goal to us, to be used fruitfully within our own 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!
