Ongoing faith formation is essential to accomplish our mission to evangelize and transform the world into a more caring and just society. This does not end at confirmation or graduation but continues until one's death.

Centering Prayer is a method designed to facilitate the development of Contemplative Prayer. In the Christian tradition Contemplative Prayer is considered to be the pure gift of God. It is the opening of mind and heart - our whole being to God. The source of Centering Prayer, as in all methods leading to Contemplative Prayer, is the indwelling Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The focus of Centering Prayer is the deepening of our relationship with the living Christ. The Centering Prayer group at St. Robert meets on Wed. mornings at 9:15. For more information call Barbara Prendergast at 414-964-1268.
Are you interested in learning more about your faith with other men in an informal group setting? Then Dogma and Donuts is right for you. D&D was started over four years ago by a small group of men from St. Robert in order to help men better understand our faith. We study scripture and other works that help us to better understand our Catholic faith, history, and ttraditions . If you would like to join us, we meet the last Friday of every month at 6:30 am in the Church Basement. Dogma, coffee, and donuts are provided for each meeting! If you would like to attend, please contact David Mitchell.
Two Small Faith Groups meet on a monthly basis to study Scripture (the following Sunday's readings) and the issues they raise in our beliefs and daily lives.

The other group meets in the Parish Center Library on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm. For more information regarding this group, please contact parishioner Tom Whipp.
