Dear St. Raymond School Community,
 
     Greetings and God’s blessing be yours in 2020!  I wish our entire St. Raymond School Family a Happy and Blessed New Year.  The month of January signifies not only the start of a new year but also means that Catholic Schools Week is fast approaching.  On Sunday January 26^th we will commence Catholic Schools Week right here at St. Raymond Parish.  The 9am Mass in church will be dedicated to starting off this special week the best way possible-by coming together and giving thanks and praise to our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Afterwards, all are invited to enjoy some breakfast in our school cafeteria and take a hosted tour of St. Raymond School.  Spread the word to neighbors and friends who may be considering a Catholic School Education for their child.  We’d love to meet and welcome new members to our school community.  Then, there will be many special activities during the week which our school children will enjoy with each other and their teachers. 

     Our second graders are fast approaching the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation on February 1^st when they will receive the loving forgiveness of our Father in preparation for their First Holy Communion in May.  Our eighth graders will be receiving their high school acceptance letters this month also.  Congratulations on this sign of academic achievement and remember to still work hard and make your final months at St. Raymond School memorable, enjoyable and spiritually enriching.

     So, all in all, let’s make the start of 2020 a good one.  Work hard, be good friends, pray often and most of all live knowing that God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.
 
God bless always,
Father Chuck
Pastor
