​Origins ​of the Saint Raymond Nonnatus Foundation

​As a means of continuing to give specific expression to the Mercedarian’s redemptive charism, the Order dedicated several years of prayer and dialogue during their formation assemblies.  Through the grace of the Holy Spirit and the intercession of St. Raymond Nonnatus, it was recognized the breakdown of the family as the major source of spiritual erosion in our day and time. The fruit of their discernment led to the establishment of the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation for Freedom, Family and Faith.
