Parish Newsletter for June 10, 2024
Tenth Week in Ordinary Time
|
On Sunday, June 2 we kicked off a week-long celebration of our parish and patron saint, St. Robert of Newminster. We celebrated Mass at 10:00 a.m. with almost 800 people in attendance, followed by a Eucharistic procession around campus. Cars on Ada Drive slowed as they passed our parish, curious as to what was happening. What a beautiful way to share our faith with the community! After the procession, we gathered for our parish picnic. It was wonderful to see so many of you attend – especially the children, who enjoyed lots of games and face painting.
Words cannot describe how overwhelmingly thankful our staff is for this beautiful community here at SRN. Thank you to each and every member of our parish family for all you contribute. Our parish is such a special and unique place – it’s no wonder we’re the largest parish in the Diocese of Grand Rapids!
Here are some photo highlights from last weekend!
