ST. ROBERT BELLARMINE ANNUAL REPORT | 2022-2023

From Our Pastor

Dear St. Robert Parishioners, As I complete my second year as pastor of St. Robert’s, I have enjoyed getting to know so many more of you through various social gatherings and meetings. I’m delighted to be part of the St. Robert Bellarmine Parish. St. Robert’s is a well-oiled machine with a multitude of great stewards that make it run.

I appreciate so many of you who have graciously invited me into your lives and homes.

I am very thankful for Fr. Mark McKercher, associate pastor, and Fr. Harry Buse retired, in residence, and their help with the many ministries offered to our parishioners.

I’m tremendously blessed to have a talented, dedicated, and missional parish staff, who support and make happen the many parish activities and ministries for our 3,000 registered families.

I look forward to the 2023-2024 year as we continue to work with our sister parishes in the Archdiocese in our Journey of Faith. Please feel free to stop in the parish office anytime if you have a need or concern (or even to invite me to dinner!)

WE ARE MISSING “YOU” OR AT LEAST SOME OF YOU! Many people have seen a Church sign that says “CH _ _CH” and then ask the question, “What is missing?”

Of course, the answer is, “UR”. We have over 3,000 registered families at St. Robert's. Sadly, statistics show that only 23-30% of registered families are attending Mass regularly and even fewer at many other churches in our Archdiocese. Each of our parishioners is important to our parish family. Those absent from its embrace diminish our family of faith!

The Journey of Faith plan put in place last year by the Archdiocese, due to the impending priest shortage, places our parish in “Family G,” which includes Christ the King, John Paul II Newman Center, and St. Robert's.

Our Family is scheduled to transition to just four priests for all three parishes in less than 10 years. This will likely mean St. Robert’s will have just one full-time priest and will share another with Christ the King. Further, the plan would be to reduce our Mass schedule from three daily Masses to just one, and our six weekend Masses to just four.

I have a dream, but I need your help. My hope is that we will need to increase - rather than decrease - our current number of priests and keep or increase our Mass schedule at St. Robert's. To accomplish this, we will need help from our actively engaged parishioners...

• To keep our faith vibrant and alive, I encourage you to continue to attend our weekend Mass celebrations and to participate in our many ministries. Your presence is essential to make this happen. An empty church cannot come alive without the lay faithful.

• I personally want to invite those who may not be engaged or attending Mass to come, join us, and witness the love and mercy of God. I ask you who are already attending and involved in the parish to invite and engage those you know who are not currently coming to Mass or participating in our many ministries. Invite them to attend with you!

• Lastly, I ask you who are registered in the parish and see this letter to invite Catholics who are not registered and the many who are not participating in any faith community to join us and become actively engaged members of St. Robert’s.

With your help, we will see fruits of our labor as our parish continues to grow and thrive. My hope is we will see greater attendance at Mass and engagement in our parish ministries. One of the fruits of this growth will be the interest of more young men in becoming priests. (I have recently written three recommendations for young men who have expressed interest in entering the seminary). Many might think of this as a crazy dream and if so, you might also think Jesus was crazy when he instructed us to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations”!

God Bless,

Fr. Dave Reeson - Pastor Fr. Rob

Greeting guests

Parish Council Fellow Parishioners, The Parish Council is comprised of 12 parish members who volunteer to serve as an advisory group to the Pastor. Members of the Council are active parishioners who give their time in a variety of ways through various groups, projects, and meetings. Over the last 7 years, one of the more visible activities the Parish Council oversees is the Annual Fall Festival.

PARISH COUNCIL BOARD MEMBERS: Fr. Dave Reeson | Pastor Fr. Mark McKercher | Assoc. Pastor Dan Miller | President Paul Haskell | Vice President Kelly Corey | Secretary Marty Callaghan Jake Costello Sean Cuddigan Amy Ellis Matt Garland Marcia Holbrook Lauren Lier Kyle Uhing

STAFF: Patrick Flanery Kelly Vazquez

In 2022, the Council decided to transition from the Parish Picnic in the summer to a Fall Festival in September. This was a monumental undertaking and thanks to outstanding committee chairs, Paul Haskell and Matt Garland, (and their amazing wives Kelly Haskell and Kim Garland), the Fall Festival was a huge success. There were over 150 volunteers involved from many active groups within the parish, including our engaged student body. The focus was to be inviting to the parishioners and others in our surrounding communities. There were many yard signs throughout nearby neighborhoods, and a large welcoming banner on St. Roberts’s property for the surrounding area.

I had an opportunity to talk with people throughout the event and enjoyed conversations with many people I had never met before. Many were new to the parish and were excited for the opportunity to attend and experience the vibrancy of our parish community. I also spoke with multiple families that were not SRB parishioners who had seen the signs, heard about the activities, and thought it would be fun to attend. These families expressed how impressed they were with the crowd, the environment, and the vibrancy of our parish.

At the end of the Fall Festival, I was most proud to see the many volunteers who helped break down tables, chairs, stage, tents, and cleaned up the entire space. What should have taken hours to complete was mostly done within 30 minutes! Many guests also pitched in. It truly was just like after a family gathering when everyone chips in to help clean up. That is what community is all about - helping those around you!

It was a great sight at the end of a successful and fun parish event for all ages to enjoy.

Thanks,

Dan Miller – Parish Council President

Stewardship & Development Dear St. Robert Parishioners,

"...as good parish stewards, we need to continue to uphold the traditions and make new ones, keep those long-lasting friendships and make new ones.”

In 1966, due to growth in west Omaha, a need for a new parish was warranted. The Omaha Archdiocese built a new parish on 120th and Pacific and St. Robert Bellarmine Parish was established. Many young families joined and worked hard to make it the very welcoming and dynamic parish that it is today. It now serves 3,000+ families and offers over 50 organizations and ministries. However, new potential issues were identified by the Archdiocese. Parishioners and leadership were asked to be part of the Journey of Faith in 2022-2023, and participate in discussions concerning low Sunday Mass attendance (22-30%) at many parishes, (we are at 30%), a future priest shortage, and identifying how we can share future resources between parishes.

The Archdiocese created “parish families” and our family includes Christ the King and JPII at UNO. We engaged in discussions and looked at how to be pro-active to maintain and grow our faith-filled community for the future generations to enjoy just like our founders of St. Robert’s had done fifty-seven years ago. We need to create a clear path for parishioners to grow in their faith and discipleship.

Working through the information provided to us by the Archdiocese, we saw many elements we already had in place. Our communication streams are varied and robust, keeping parishioners informed.

We support all ages through our many organizations and ministries. Many options are offered for parishioners to grow in faith and discipleship. We are on the right path, but we can always make improvements as we look towards future needs. We need to consider future generations, just as our founders did, and continue the traditions of the past and create new ones.

For many, St. Robert’s is their spiritual home, a place for devotion, the sacraments, experiencing ordinary events, and sharing extraordinary moments in life. As the next generation makes their mark as good parish stewards, we need to continue to uphold the traditions and make new ones, keep those long-lasting friendships and make new ones, and continue to be an integral part of the Omaha Catholic community.

It is vital that everyone in the parish be engaged to keep St. Robert’s a parish for future generations.

MEET THE MCCAWLEYS The McCawleys joined St. Robert's Parish in the fall of 1991, with their children Megan, Kyle and Andrew. Both of their sons attended St. Robert's School and they also have two grandsons currently enrolled. Mike coached several of his grandchildren’s soccer teams, and Mary was involved in several parish organizations.

In the late 90’s, Mary served as Chairperson of the St. Robert’s Church interior decoration committee, as well as Decorations Chair for the first two (Shine) Bella Festa celebrations.

After their daughter’s diagnosis with terminal breast cancer, the Parish sponsored a large benefit for her family. The support and kindness displayed by this parish has reinforced our commitment to St. Robert's.

Fr. Don Shane heard Mary was a landscape architect and in 2005, he asked Mary to redesign our parish parking lot, parking lot islands, the planting areas bordering the parish buildings, and the rest of the parish grounds. This work was done concurrently with the Church interior remodel. Since then, Mary has also designed such parish features as the Prayer Garden, the St. Francis Assisi shrine, the Stations of the Cross, the Holy Family Garden, three areas memorializing parish children, and other garden areas. There are 20 “garden” spaces on campus all maintained by the stewards of the parish.

In March 2012, Mary applied for and procured the accreditation as a Nebraska Statewide Arboretum Site for St. Robert's. It is one of 26 accredited sites around the state and the only accredited church/school site in the state. Mike, a chief pruner and planter, along with over 25 parish volunteers, work to maintain and enhance the 13.5-acre parish grounds and exterior features through much of the year. An additional 20 volunteers help to maintain the Prayer Garden. We are thankful for all!

In the last three years, the McCawleys have also served on the St. Robert's Refugee Committee, collecting furniture, household goods, and setting up our refugee families new residences.

Thank you to Mary and Mike McCawley for their dedication and stewardship over the years at St. Robert’s and making our campus such a beautiful and prayerful space.

Pastoral Ministry Dear St. Robert Parishioners, Our parish Pastoral Ministry continues to grow and bring parishioners into a deeper relationship with Jesus. This year the Christian Rite of Initiation of Adults (RCIA) welcomed 15 people into the Catholic faith.

I am truly grateful for the sponsors and team members who volunteer to help our candidates, as they become Catholics.

Co-directors, John Lingo and Sam Cooper, spend months planning each year. John states, "I enjoy helping with RCIA primarily because it’s fun! Each year, we get a front row seat to the Trinity working in and through our Candidates and Elect as they (and our whole team, too) journey towards Easter and a deeper faith. Sponsors, team helpers, presenters and candidates ALL have consistently said they learn and experience something more deeply and embrace a new aspect of our infinite faith at every class. RCIA is the most rewarding group I have joined. We’re fun, we’re high tech, we’re rooted in Scripture and the Catechism, and we love what we do!"

Refugee Committee

RCIA

Sam Cooper shared, "My experience as a volunteer for RCIA is more fulfilling than expected. The most rewarding part of my experience is spending time with those who have chosen the faith. As a lifelong Catholic, I always feel blessed to spend time with people who have heard God’s call and answered. Each week I remark at how much more I have received in return. I appreciate and value the relationships I have developed with our sponsors and helpers. We could not do it without all their support. Lastly, our Priests, Deacons and Laity are a rich blessing.

Many have given their time and provided valuable content. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to serve in this way."

SERVING OUR ACTIVE PARISH COMMUNITY Our active volunteers support the GriefShare Ministry, Refugee Committee, Safe Environment Classes, Wedding and Funeral Ministry, Golf Tournament Committee, and Penance Service Reception Committee, and help build our parish community.

There are so many opportunities for parishioners to become involved. I look forward to continuing on our most holy journey to grow closer to Jesus. Please never hesitate to contact me to volunteer for any of our programs or events. You are the most important part of everything we do here at St. Robert Bellarmine Parish.

St. Robert Bellarmine Annual Report

Liturgy Dear Parishioners, Our worship ministries experienced an exciting addition with our new and very powerful presentation screens. The 12-by-16-foot installations will revolutionize our worship presentation. The screens integrate with our sound system, high-definition cameras, streaming service, digital signage platform, and most importantly, dedicated software designed to engage our congregants with the scripture, music, and Mass text for our weekend liturgies. As time goes by and our technology staff and volunteerism grow, these amazing instruments will demonstrate potential and material innovations in how our school students, wedding couples, bereaved families, parish missionaries, and guests worship and gather at St. Robert Bellarmine.

Altar server picnic

“We all put our heads and our courage together and pulled off a wonderful Mass!” This is the kind of volunteer passion and education that makes St. Robert’s great!

This was all made possible by an anonymous donor whose creative vision and involvement in the project will have resonating impacts on our space as a forerunner of worship engagement in Omaha for many years to come. Upon unveiling the screens and seeing them operate, the donor exclaimed, “These can do more than I ever anticipated or hoped they would. I am so excited to see them in operation!”

Our Choral Worship family continues to grow and adapt in the face of the city’s swiftly growing cosmopolitan music scene. To adapt to the ever-larger community of contractible and compelling musical performers in our blossoming metropolis, the music ministry has adapted its previous model of a single figurehead musician. We now have a collaborative office of part time staff who can devote their passions to the unique and specific projects and areas of worship our Sundays and feast days require. Tracy Hoye, a fantastic and established regional artist, started in August as our new director of Choral Activities. Drew Neneman remains as the area coordinator, assuring that Sunday services, feast days, annual activities, funerals, and weddings all present the utmost in worship music excellence. Thomas Stoysich remains our expert organist and accompanist in residence. Justin Richard, our school music teacher, continues to do amazing things with our children’s music ministries.

Our choir strives for and demonstrates remarkable dedication, independence, and skill. Russell Winkelbauer, a long time choral anchor of our community, recalled, “We rallied for success!” as he described Pentecost 2022. On that particular feast day, Drew was out for surgery, Thomas was out of town, and “We all put our heads and our courage together and pulled off a wonderful Mass!” This is the kind of volunteer passion and education that makes St. Robert’s great!

God Bless,

Drew Neneman Director of Worship and Music

From our Principal Dear St. Robert Bellarmine Parishioners, Each morning during announcements, I remind and encourage students and staff to work hard and be leaders of all to Christ by displaying our Core Values of Living Faith, Practicing Service, Achieving Excellence, Inspiring Leadership, and Promoting Collaboration. It is no mistake that Living Faith is first on the list. All that we do flows from who we are as people of faith. We find nourishment in the Word and in the Eucharist as we celebrate school Mass twice each week. Listening to our students praise God is the highlight of each week for me. Religion is more than just a subject at St. Robert’s School; it is a part of our culture. It is not enough for our students to know ABOUT Jesus; we want them to KNOW Jesus.

Grandparents Day

Works of service flow from our relationship with Jesus, and the students proudly participate in service work each year. This past year, our Student Council sponsored several service projects including Warm and Wooly, collecting socks and hats for St. Martin de Porres. They conducted a baby bottle drive for Essential Pregnancy Services and held a food drive for Open Door Mission. It is truly beautiful to see our students being the hands, feet, voice, and heart of Jesus to others.

Achieving excellence is more than an academic pursuit. SRB staff challenges our students to be their personal best.

Our students perform well academically, as evidenced by our Blue Ribbon recognition. However, we want our students to grow spiritually, academically, and behaviorally during their time in our school. Every one of us has the potential for leadership, and a call to use and multiply the gifts God has given us.

As students work to be their best, they grow as leaders. For some of our eighth graders, leadership comes as they earn roles as school ambassadors. For other middle school students, they are selected to be part of student congress.

Those are public leadership opportunities, but we recognize that leadership comes in many different forms. For many of our students, they show their leadership by working hard on their academic pursuits amid full schedules.

For others, they make sound behavioral choices when it would be easier to succumb to the pressures of this world.

Student Mass mentoring

Our final core value is promoting collaboration. I have come to especially appreciate this as the newly hired administrator at St. Robert Bellarmine School. It would be impossible for me to accomplish all that is needed this school year without the support and collaboration of the dedicated parish and school staff, supportive parents, and wonderful students of St. Robert’s. Thank you for making my first months at SRB so memorable. I am honored to be a part of such a caring and committed community and look forward to our ongoing collaboration.

God Bless,

Tuition Assistance A quote from Pope Francis: “Education cannot be neutral. It is either positive or negative; either it enriches or it impoverishes; either it enables a person to grow or it lessens, even corrupts him. The mission of schools is to develop a sense of truth, of what is good and beautiful.”

Anyone who has had the opportunity to interact with our school administration and staff knows they carry out the mission of teaching and developing what is good and beautiful. St. Robert’s is blessed with a dedicated staff who are committed to the education and well-being of their students. Our 5-day school, which includes the partnership with Madonna School for the St. Robert’s Inclusion Program, as well as our Religious Education Program, offer a wonderful, faith-filled education for our students.

We believe it is our mission to ensure these educational opportunities are available to all St. Robert’s parish families. St. Robert’s tries to keep tuition affordable for our families; current tuition rates cover approximately 50% of the actual cost for each student.

Class work

HOW CAN YOU HELP We continue to ask each parishioner to consider donating to the Tuition Assistance Fund. The fund allows St. Robert’s to offer aid to families who may be experiencing financial difficulties or just need a little help. This past year, the need in our parish community increased significantly over the previous year. Families apply for tuition assistance and each application is reviewed by the parish. All families receiving assistance are grateful for the generous support provided by St. Robert’s parishioners who donate to the Tuition Assistance Fund.

Religious Education Dear St. Robert Bellarmine Community,

Step back!

I have a mustard seed and I'm not afraid to use it.

St. Robert’s “Family of Faith” program began in 2020 and is now in its third year. This year we focused on Christian Prayer. Families created Prayer Boards and wrote A.M.D.G, which stands for “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriem” in Latin or “For the Greater Glory of God.” Each board was uniquely decorated with rosaries, prayer cards, photos, saints, and scripture, which shared their personal spiritual journey.

Throughout the year, many mustard seeds were planted, and some small acts made a huge impact.

• “My son, Henry, shared a prayer he wrote and gave it to Fr. Mark at the 8:00 a.m. Mass during the children’s offering. Fr. Mark opened the letter and held it up! Henry was so proud to share it. I know he has been encouraged by the Family Religious Ed program to write and share his own prayers. I’m grateful for all the work you put into the Family of Faith program!” — Meredith R. • “I am letting you know the fire of the Holy Spirit—which you helped ignite—is still burning bright in Carson. As a Catholic mother, I should be embarrassed to share that it had been over 20 years since my last confession.

However, when my son invited me to join him on one of his confession dates, I was so inspired by Carson’s free flowing persistence of faith that I joined him. Now it is something we do together. THANK YOU first, for allowing the students to invite their parents to take part in reconciliation with them. Secondly, thanks for all the encouragement you gave him along the way. I promise that he is sharing his faith with the world!” ” — Lisa K.

A note to Father

“SAINTS IN THE MAKING” A generous memorial donation was given to the Religious Education program this past year. We are grateful and want to continue sharing this gift by creating inspiring t-shirts describing our faith journeys.

The t-shirts are an outward sign sharing our faith with more people. Recently, I wore my t-shirt and found myself having a couple of in-depth conversations about the Catholic faith. One kind man was open to sharing his story about sin. He described coming back to the faith, and realized he used to carry a platter of sin, then a dinner plate, and now only holds a saucer. As we continue to share Jesus in our heart, we should see many good things happen.

God Bless,

Youth Ministry Dear St. Robert Parishioners, The St. Robert Bellarmine - Youth Group (SRB-YG) had a full and active year! I have been a part of this program for over 15 years and continue to develop it each year as we grow! I would like to highlight a few of our activities, events, and accomplishments in 2022-2023:

Confirmation retreat

“Thank you for all the love and energy you put into this! Billy is so excited and is already dreaming of being a camp leader someday!” ­— Angela Cutler

• SRB-YG meetings throughout the year It was incredibly important for our students to connect in our youth group setting. We had an outstanding number of about 40 high school students in attendance at weekly meetings, with most of those students being new freshmen and sophomores. A sense of community was built early on with Summer Nights meetings every other week and progressed as time went on. I am proud to say that our group is not only comprised of students enrolled in private high schools, but also various public high schools (with no existing affiliation with SRB). A handful of our members have joined simply because they attend with friends or heard about it from a graduate of our school.

• Middle School Youth Ministry Each quarter, events and gatherings were hosted to engage with students in 5-day, Religious Education, and home school. Such events included a Halloween carnival / movie night, multiple service projects, and a successful murder mystery party.

• Living Stations of the Cross We continued the tradition of the YG presenting Stations of the Cross to the 5-day school and parish.

For the past few years, we have presented from the viewpoint of the penitent thief. This year, we opted to return to the viewpoint of Mary, Jesus’ mother. It was a beautiful and prayerful experience.

• Graduate Breakfast | Sunday, April 16th, 9:30 a.m. Mass and Breakfast This is the annual recognition mass and breakfast for all graduating parish seniors. It was great to hear from them and learn about their plans. This year’s breakfast brought in our largest attendance to date with roughly 50 graduates!

• Vacation Bible School: Monumental | June 5-9 About 300 campers enjoyed fun activities, games, singing, and dancing. With the help of more than 100 middle school and high school volunteers, the week was memorable for all!

I truly cannot wait to see what lies ahead next year! We look forward to welcoming new members into our SRB-YG family, building upon our long-standing history and cultivating young leaders of our parish to give back to St. Robert’s as well as their community.

Reed Family Early Learning Academy Dear Parish Families,

“Our staff has also been working extremely hard, building stronger connections with our families and the community.”

It has been an amazing 2022-2023 year at the Reed Family Early Learning Academy (ELA)! As we continue to evolve and grow, we created a new position in August 2022, Teacher Education and Curriculum Coordinator. This position ensures we are providing the highest quality of care at the ELA and assisting our teachers in obtaining their Child Development Associate (CDA) in Early Childhood Development. To date, we have three staff members who have obtained their CDA, one waiting for results and three others waiting for final observations before being awarded this achievement. In addition, our Teacher Education Coordinator has been extremely busy providing FREE training hours to staff this summer completing over 16 different training courses. Sessions include important topics like Nebraska’s Early Learning Guidelines and the "Safe with You Series" that discusses Safe Sleep Practices, Playground Safety, Child Abuse, and Neglect Training. The teachers have been working very hard and this new training should have a positive impact on our staff.

Through this new program, the ELA qualified and was recently awarded a Step 2 rating in Nebraska’s Step Up to Quality rating system. This statewide quality assurance program helps families find the best childcare for their children. This next year, we will receive an observation, which will determine our final rating anywhere between a Step 3 and a Step 5.

Our staff has also been working extremely hard, building stronger connections with our families and the community. We introduced many new family events such as a Grandparents Day celebration, family picnic, and family reading night. We offered several informational meetings for our families and the community. We partnered with area businesses, and we were able to have a guest speaker provide valuable information on important topics such as nutrition and movement for young children, literacy and language development for children, sign language, and much more.

As the Reed Family Early Learning Academy begins its 4th year, we are amazed at how far we have come in such a short time. We look forward to continuing to grow our services and our offering our staff opportunities to grow and develop in the field of childcare. We are happy to serve this wonderful community at St. Robert Bellarmine Parish.

Finance Dear Parishioners, At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 2023, St. Robert Bellarmine remains in great financial health. St. Robert’s had a positive operating income for the second consecutive year and the balance sheet remains strong. Our Reed Early Learning Academy is at capacity with a waiting list, student enrollment at the 5-day school is up this year for the first time in several years, along with our Sunday collections have all contributed to a positive operating income.

St. Robert’s was able to complete several significant projects this past year. Many of these projects were covered by the generous donations of parishioners or via fundraising efforts.

ST. ROBERT FINANCE COMMITTEE BOARD MEMBERS: Fr. Dave Reeson - Pastor Nancy Kuhl - President Joe Johns Dr. Vince Miscia Steve Patterson Mike Potthoff Mike Price Brian Reilly Erin Swanson Russell

STAFF: Patrick Flanery Kelly Vazquez

• New parish database & on-line giving platform • New smart boards for the school* • New membrane and shingle roof over the entire church, school and parish • New worship screens inside the church* • Hope Monument statue* • Community Room renovation* • Completed a general risk & security assessment • Concrete repair work • Tree removal – diseased & dead trees *cost covered by parishioner donations or fund raising efforts

St. Robert’s has switched to the new on-line giving platform, PushPay. The new giving platform was the first step in setting up an exciting new comprehensive software system and parish database St. Robert’s will be using for donations, to record registrations, to improve communication, facilitate involvement and much more. We are excited about the possibilities this new system will bring to our parish.

We continue to evaluate the entire parish, both the physical plant as well as the faith and educational programs we offer to ensure we are providing the best for St. Robert’s parishioners. St. Robert’s is blessed with a parish filled with cheerful givers of their time and resources! The staff are truly grateful for your continued support!

God Bless,

Patrick Flanery Business & Finance Director

St. Robert Bellarmine Foundation Dear St. Robert Bellarmine Parishioners, St. Robert Bellarmine Parish Foundation was established in 2015 to support religious, educational and charitable purposes of the parish. The prayers and monetary gifts secured from parishioners of today help future generations celebrate the Holy Eucharist and provide faith formation through Catholic School Education (K-8). The endowment, established and sustained from monetary and legacy gifts, is designed to continue the legacy of the founding pastor, Monsignor Kerwin, by providing funding for future generations of parishioners. It continues the development of the parish family community and friendships.

The Foundation investments include the Msgr. Kerwin Permanent Endowment and the Father Shane Education Endowment. Since their inception, additional named funds have been added. The Foundation Board establishes the policy for investments and oversees the funds for allocation. It accepts funds and planned gifts to grow the foundation’s investments.

ST. ROBERT FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBERS: Fr. Dave Reeson | Pastor Vince Miscia | President Nancy Kuhl | Vice President Elaine Martin | Secretary Jim Czyz Katie DeSciose Dan Gilg Mike Lawler Mike Price Ron Quinn Rob Reed Fr. Don Shane

Yearly scholarships are awarded to St. Robert students and families who are recognized for their service to the parish.
