FIRST COMMUNION 

Our Religious Education for Grades 1-8 is to teach public school students who would like to attend Religious Education classes and to prepare for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Eucharist. We share the Good News and teach Catholic Values/virtues and doctrine.

St. Raymond Church is a family based Church and we incorporate that in our classes as well.

CONFIRMATION/RCIC

At confirmation we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and confirm our baptismal promises. Greater awareness of the grace of the Holy Spirit is conferred through the anointing of chrism oil and the laying on of hands by the Bishop. We welcome your teen to take this journey with us. If high school student needs their Baptism, First Communion or Confirmation, we would love to take them on their faith journey. St. Raymond has an exciting family and faith based program that will help your student along their way to an amazing journey of Christ's love. We will show them that Church and classes is someplace that they want to be and not just something that they say, " Do I have to go?"

Confirmation Grades 9-12. All students entering programs for the first time must bring Baptism and First Communion Certificate.
