One of the richest blessings of the Cathedral parish family is its strong sense of tradition. From its original founding as a parish community in 1917, Saint Raymond has been the parish home for generations of families who take great pride in our faith and the sense of tradition that has permeated our history.

The Cathedral community is always growing as we welcome new individuals and families to take their place in our parish faith story. Whether you can trace your lineage back to one of our founding families, or you are new to our community, there is a home for you at the Cathedral of Saint Raymond Nonnatus.

God is calling each of us to reclaim our faith in Jesus Christ as lived out in the Catholic Church. Here at the Cathedral you will discover priests, deacons, a pastoral staff, and a faith community eager to help you become part of our Catholic community.
