Yesterday, I attended my first Archdiocesan board meeting as a member of the Capital Asset Support Corporation (CASC). Being the neophyte of the group, I was asked to lead the Opening Prayer. Then suddenly, I was elected as the new Vice-President of this board that I am just learning about. So, help me God!

Wednesday, June 7, marks my 37th priestly anniversary. There will be no special celebration. However, I am asking for your prayers that I may continue to be faithful to my calling.

Thursday, June 8, is the 65^th year anniversary of the First Mass being celebrated at St. Robert. We will celebrate this day by honoring our long-time parishioners at all the masses the weekend of June 10-11. We will ask them to stand up to be acknowledged and blessed by the congregation. That day is also our NameTag Weekend. Everybody will be asked to wear a tag with their name that weekend. Coffee and donuts will be served at the 9:30a.m. Mass.
