St. Roberts Parish Pastoral Council
Mission Statement
"We are one body of Roman Catholics, united with the Holy Father and our Archbishop, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, striving to attain eternal salvation.
We desire to know, love and serve God through our worship in Word and Sacrament, which find their source and summit in the Eucharist.
With St. Robert Bellarmine as our model, we pledge responsible use of our gifts and resources to meet individual, parish and community needs.
We are committed to formal church doctrine, life-long educational opportunities, active evangelization, and a vital social ministry, with positive interaction among parishioners, in a caring, welcoming environment."
