Its
Crab
Dinner
Saturday,
February
4th
evening
at the
Hennessy
Hall.
Looks
like
it's
sold
out,
and I
am
sure
it
will
be a
wonderful
and
fun
evening.

Scout
Sunday
is
celebrated
on the
Sunday
before
February
8
every
year.
We
will
celebrate
it at
the
9:30a.m.
Mass
this
coming
Sunday,
February
5. All
scouts
wearing
their
uniforms
will
be
participating
in our
liturgy,
e.g.,
bringing
the
gifts,
and
doing
the
collection.
Thanks
to
Kathie
Laupati
for
organizing
our
scouts
for
this
event.

Dont
forget,
its
our
Mens
Club
meeting
this
Monday,
February
6,
2023.
Doors
open
at

|
The
gutters
of our
church,
rectory,
and
the
Mahoney
room
were
cleaned
this
week.
As to
be
expected,
so
much
dried
leaves
and
dirt
had
accumulated
because
it has
been
three
years
since
it was
last
cleaned.
The
floors
in the
choir
loft
were
also
patched
this
week
after
it was
opened
for
the
heating
construction.

6.
|
The
Archdiocese
released
last
years
October
Count.
We
have
an
average
of 629
people
attending
for
four
Sundays.
It is
a 9.8%
increase
from
2021,
during
the
Covid
pandemic,
when
we
only
had an
average
of
573
people
attending
our
weekend
Masses.
Prior
to
that,
in
2019,
we had
an
average
of
1,064
people
attending
the
same
Masses.
That
means
we
still
have a
lot of
work
to do
in
bringing
our
people
back
to
church
for an
in-person
worship.

|
The
Archdiocese
likewise
released
the
Archdiocesan
Annual
Appeal
(AAA)
assessment
for
our
parish.
Our
goal
this
year
is
$103,208,
a 12%
increase
from
last
years
goal
of
$92,145.
This
increase
is
indicative
of the
increase
in our
Weekly
Offertory
Giving,
as
well
as our
total
Ordinary
Income.
The
AAA
assessment
goal
is 20%
percent
of the
Total
Ordinary
Income
of a
parish.
I am
deeply
grateful
for
your
generosity
and
continued
support
to our
parish.

Dear
St.
Roberts
parishioners
and
friends,
|
|
|
|
|
|
January
is
almost
over!
Its
another
month.
Another
day...
Another
mountain
to
climb...
Another
bridge
to
cross...
Another
road
to
travel...
Another
test
to
overcome...
But
God's
Word
gives
you
the
blessed
assurance
that
you
can
do
all...
May
GOD
be
your
ANCHOR
in
all
the
difficult
days
of
your
life!
Blessed
&
safe
days,
ahead!

Synod
2021
thru
2023
|
|
|
|
|
What
is a
synod?
|
A
synod is a
council of the
Church, usually
convened to
decide an issue
of doctrine,
administration
or application.
The word synod
is from the
Greek sinodos
(s???d??)
meaning
assembly
or
meeting
and is similar
to the Latin
concilium
meaning
council.
Sometimes the
phrase
general
synod or
general
council
refers to an
ecumenical
council, like
the Second
Vatican Council
(1962-1965).
