(During Fr. Ring’s recovery, the members of the parish staff will be writing the pastoral letter. Today’s letter is from Virginia Yanke) Dear Parishioners: This week it is my turn to write a message in the Sunday bulletin. So here goes. I’ll bet that you will be surprised to hear that I’m going to talk about our wonderful Parish. St. Robert’s is alive and well. And that is all because of all of you. Every month I meet with the Parish Leaders at the Parish Planning Committee (formerly called Life and Growth). I am amazed at all the happenings here at St. Robert’s. This Parish is vibrant and alive with activities; both spiritual and social. Are you one that likes to help others; then St. Vincent de Paul is a group for you. Are you the social type; then join the Men’s Club, the Women’s Guild, or the Fil-Am Group (all of these groups are Parish organizations, not just school organizations); come and take a peak during 9 a.m. Mass and see what Children’s Liturgy is doing with your children. Don’t we just love seeing those little kids at Mass; I see all those "little Catholics" learning about Jesus during Sunday Mass. Join a group to match your interest. Maybe the InBetweeners, the Grownups or the Sociables are for you? We have something for all ages. Join one of our choirs; depending what Mass you regularly attend. Do you like to pray in a group; come to daily Mass, join a Renew group or come to the Stations of the Cross and the Soup Suppers during the Fridays of Lent. Come spend an hour or two with others. Come join us in our Faith, our love of God and each other. Come share your religion with someone else; there’s plenty to go around. St. Robert’s is a great community because of you, each and every one of you. You are what makes St. Robert’s what it is, a great community of Faith. God Bless.
