The sixth annual parish Veterans Day celebration hosted by St. Robert’s Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors (O.W.L.S.) is not far off! We have an exciting program planned this year including multiple uniformed members. Veterans are encouraged to wear their uniforms or covers. All parishioners and school families are invited to attend!
Join us for the celebration on:
- Friday, Nov. 13 at 10:00 a.m. sharp in the Parish Life Center (use Door E or M).
- Coffee and fellowship at 9:30 a.m. will precede the program.
- The St. Robert School choir will open the celebration at 9:45 a.m. with patriotic songs.
- Please RSVP to Lu Paletta, lupaletta@gmail.com, so we can be sure to have enough food and seating.
Honoring our Veterans and Service Members
St. Robert parishioners have the opportunity during this event to recognize and honor a veteran or current service member. This opportunity is open to any active duty person, veteran (living or deceased), having served at any time, with ties to St. Robert including spouses, parents, siblings, grandparents, or any other relative.
Each veteran or service member will be recognized with a slide (see the example shown below.)

- Name of veteran or service member
- Branch of Service
- Years served
- Job (aviator, technician, electronics. etc)
- Discharge rank (if applicable)
- Where did they serve/are they serving
- Spouse or relative who is submitting this information
- Picture of the vet or service member in uniform (please attach a good quality digital image in jpg or png format to your email)
Please email the information above by Nov. 10 to:
