The St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation
The St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation was formed through the Mercedarian Religious Order which is headquarter within the Philadelphia area. Founded 800 years ago in the year 1218 by St. Peter Nolasco, praying for and rescuing in a sense those in “captivity” was the original mission of the Order. It is still it’s mission today to pray for and redeem through Christ and through the Sacraments of the Catholic faith those who are oppressed in many ways.
Today’s Captivities
Captivity today in modern life comes in various forms. Difficulty in family life, divorce, separation, psychological difficulties, spiritual battles, drug and alcohol addictions are just some of those areas people are being bound by. The Mercedarian Order and the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation are here for the people who are affected by many of these issues. The reason the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation was formed back in 2015 by the Mercedarian friars was to make outreach to families and individuals in crisis situations and “captivities”.
How We Can Help

Our initial outreach is to families and individuals affected by divorce and separation, and we offer outreach through on-line support groups. Information is on our website. I am the director of this foundation, and I and our friars are happy to pray for you and for your family.
