St. Raymond's Cathedral is a Maronite Catholic co-cathedral located in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.

Lebanese and Syrian immigrants started to settle along the Mississippi River in St. Louis in the late 19th century.

In 1898 they started St. Anthony the Hermit Parish with an Antonine monk, Father George Emmanuel, as their first priest.

Pope Francis gave his approval for the ordination, which made Akiki the first married Maronite priest to be ordained in the United States in nearly a century.
