Parish Newsletter for March 18
Fifth Week of Lent

 

REMINDERS: Parish Procedures

  1. Submissions for the bulletin are due at least two weeks prior to the requested publication date. Please email content (including any graphics) to BulletinEditor@StRobertChurch.org.
  2. There are bulletin boards and tables in the Gathering Area for SRN Ministries to advertise or distribute materials. Be sure to contact the Parish Office for permission before posting items around campus to ensure they follow Diocesan regulations and standards and to keep our Gathering Area clean and welcoming. Call (616) 676-9111 or email ParishMail@StRobertChurch.org.
  3. If you plan to host an event or meeting here at SRN, you must fill out our Parish Event Registration Form at least two (2) months prior to the date of your event/meeting. Please note: filling out this form is not a guarantee that your event will be approved. Any forms received later than two months OR are not filled out completely will not be approved.
 

A pledge to the Catholic Services Appeal is a great act of generosity. It is an opportunity to participate in the Church beyond our parish community. Your support will enable diocesan ministries and programs to reach out to thousands of our brothers and sisters in need. Our parish goal is $279,055 and 100% participation, which means we would appreciate your completed pledge card this week, regardless of your level of participation. To date, we have received $61,249.00 in pledges, 21.9% of our parish goal. Remember that any amount collected over our goal will stay in the parish. Thank you again for your generosity! Learn more at GRdiocese.org/CSA.
