Our Parish

We are a Catholic church nestled in Menlo Park, California. The parish greets the community with a beautiful rose garden and a contemporary cathedral-inspired design. Since 1950 we have been home to decades of sacramental memories including weddings, baptisms, first communions, confirmations and celebrations of the end of life. The St. Raymond Parish community is devoted to our faith. The community is made up of singles, families, students, young and old, united by a common cause to worship God as one spiritual family and to serve the greater community.

Our church is committed to inspiring parishioners as intentional disciples of Jesus Christ who are prepared to preach the Gospel in the 21st century.

And we’re growing! Are you considering a Christian community where the faith is not just spoken but lived? If so, come share your ideas with us. Please visit us – we will save you a pew at our next Mass, and look forward to welcoming you into our community.

Please take a look around this website to learn more about our ministries, Mass times, service opportunities, and the community we’re building here. If you’d like, feel free to register, or just join us at one of our upcoming Masses and events. After Mass, please feel free to stay for donuts and meet your fellow parishioners. We look forward to seeing you!

We welcome you wherever you are on your journey of faith.

We’d love to meet you. Perhaps you’ve never visited our church in person, or you’ve come to Mass once in a while, but are still looking for a church that feels like home. Maybe you’re a lifelong member. Is it possible you don’t even know quite what you’re looking for?

We encourage you to join us for one of our weekly Masses. You’ll be welcome in our church, and will be met by friendly parishioners and our pastor who will be happy to answer any questions you have about the parish, our programs, and our community.

Grounded in faith and nourished by a vibrant and loving community, we are a Catholic parish in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Our Mission

St. Raymond Parish is a community united by our Catholic Faith as disciples of Jesus Christ. We seek communion with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit through ongoing personal and communal conversion to Christ and a deeper commitment to the mission Jesus gives each of us to preach the Gospel. The Sacred Scriptures and sacraments of the Church sustain us. We dedicate ourselves to Truth and strive to grow in love of God and our neighbor through community, prayer, study, and service, as we work by grace to build up in one another and share freely with others the abundance of magnificent gifts God has given us.

Our Vision

St. Raymond Parish is a family. As disciples of Jesus, we are “children of God” and “brothers and sisters in Christ.” Jesus himself says, “Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother” (Matthew 12:50). We welcome all to belong to our Catholic family and to inherit with us in Christ the mission to preach the Gospel!

St. Raymond Parish has two principal advisory boards reporting to our pastor.
