Tomorrow, on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, Fr. Tom Hamilton’s funeral Mass will take place at Holy Name of Jesus at 1:00pn. Fr. Tom was the pastor of St. Gabriel’s parish in San Francisco prior to his death. Some of our parishioners may still remember him as a young priest serving as a parochial vicar here in our parish during the early 2000s. “Good and faithful servant, come and share your Master’s joy.”
Our School Spirit Mass is this Sunday at 9:30am with the theme “Hearts on Fire.” All students and their parents will be acknowledged at the Mass. Our School Liturgical choir will be singing, and the First Graders will also sing a special welcome song. After the Mass, hospitality and refreshments will be served by the 8th grade parents.
The School and Parish Festival is next week, September 20 – 22. Come, see our community at its best. Our hardworking volunteers have started working on the stage and booths to be used at the festival. Watch our school Cheerleaders and Kidstock kick off the event with their special performances on Friday, at 5:45pm. Come and enjoy the fun!
To build a strong and faithful community at St. Robert, the parish is launching a Volunteer campaign entitled “SERVE with the HEART on FIRE”. We will be empowering our current volunteers, and encouraging new volunteers to sign up. God has blessed all of us with different talents in music, public speaking, public relations, technology, and more. What a better way to give back than to SERVE with Hearts on FIRE!
