The faithful are invited to join us on Tuesday, April 16 at 6:30 p.m. as we celebrate the final Mass in the Marian Chapel before it is renovated. Pray in this sacred space one last time and learn more about the creation of “Marian Hall.”

Parking Lot A (outside the Parish Office entrance and Marian Chapel) will be closing this week in preparation for the Marian Chapel renovation. The lot will remain closed until Marian Hall is complete, currently scheduled for December 2024. Door A will still be open for you to access the Parish Office. Please park in Lot B when you visit the Parish Office.

The Faith Formation Team is engaging in a deep assessment of the future of our community’s faith formation options. To assist us in this endeavor, please share your responses to the questions in the survey. The survey will close on May 1, 2024. If you have any questions or would prefer to have a conversation with a faith formation team member, please contact us at (616) 676-9111 or email faithformation@strobertchurch.org. 

St. Robert of Newminster Catholic Church and School are partnering with Noto’s Old World Italian Dining and USPS for the annual National Association of Letter Carriers’ STAMP OUT HUNGER FOOD DRIVE on Saturday, May 11, 2024!

The mail carriers will pick up food donated to the Drive while on their routes. They will bring the food to us at Noto’s to sort and pack. All food collected will benefit the SRN food pantry partners: Northwest Food Pantry and The Other Way Ministries.

Volunteers should sign up for 90 minute shifts, starting at 11:00 a.m. through 6:30 p.m. If the timeslot for your availability is full, don’t worry – join us at that time anyway. Many hands make light work. Dress for the weather and bring water bottles and portable chairs.

Can’t volunteer, but still want to help? We need LOTS of boxes to package the food, tables on which to sort the food, and tailgate tents to protect us from the sun and any rain. Email Nancy Chandler if you can provide any of these items at nchandler@strobertchurch.org. Tables and tents will be returned to owners!

Contact Taylor and Nancy Chandler with any questions: (616) 460-9371 or nchandler@strobertchurch.org.
