As I look back on the last two years, I cannot help but be teary-eyed about the many blessed, crazy and grace-filled moments we shared together – the same experiences which allow us to grow into a community of faithful disciples, for indeed we are.

Through this campaign, we are given the opportunity to reflect upon and renew your sacrificial commitment to the mission of Saint Raymond’s, to not only give, but to increase our giving to support our operations, liturgy and various ministry programs: not so much based on equal gift, but on equal sacrifice.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your commitment and fidelity. Know that I am here, we are all here, in our fervent desire to form a community of faithful disciples ready to heed the call of the Father to bear fruit, fruit that will last. What a blessing for me to be part of this amazing community!

Sempre grato,
Father Erick
