Dear Parishioners, Thank you for your prayers for Father Marini. I am happy to say that he has returned to the priest house and is on the mend. Please pray for Sister Cabrini Riordan, P.B.V.M. who served so long at St. Robert’s. Sister is very sick and needs your prayers. I am happy to report that the Parish Festival made $37,000 for the Parish. Congratulations to all who worked so hard to make it a great success despite the rain. $20,000 of the amount will be used to help the school keep the tuition as low as possible. $10,000 will be used to help construct the new entrance to the meeting room at the Convent (the old chapel). This room is used more and more - from RCIA to tutoring classes for the children. The new entrance on the north side of the building will make it more convenient for all and maintain the privacy of the convent itself. $5,000 will be used to keep the tuition of the Religious Education program at a reasonable rate. So thank you to all the workers and to all who contributed in any way. With Father Marini’s injury, we will have to depend upon visiting priests more and more to help with Masses. You will become more familiar with Father Growney, S.J. from St. Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco. His brother lives in our Parish. Also helping, when he can, is Father John Koeplin, S.J., from the University of San Francisco. I do not know what we would do without their help. Thank them when you see them after Mass. Sincerely, |
