Homebound Ministry

Are you unable to attend Mass and long to receive the Lord’s true presence in the Eucharist? Homebound Communion visits are a cherished practice that brings the Holy Eucharist to those who are unable to attend Mass for any variety of reasons, both short term and long term.

If you or someone you know is interested in being brought Holy Communion please reach out to parish coordinator Kate Schuering, at homebound@strobert.org or leave a message at the parish office at (414) 332-1164.

MINISTRIES OF PRAYER

Prayer Network

A network of St. Robert parishioners prays daily for intentions submitted each week. The Prayer Network could be compared to the four men who carried the paralytic to Jesus (Mark 2:1-12). Members receive the requests once a week unless the need is more urgent. If you have a serious need you would like lifted up in prayer, please email your request to prayernetwork@strobert.org.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Do you knit or crochet? Would you like to help someone in need of prayer? Makers of these special, hand-knit shawls pray before the shawl is made, pray while working on the shawl, and pray after it is finished. When completed, the shawl is given to someone in need of prayer. Shawls are available in the back of church or the parish office. For more information contact Debe Dannecker in the parish office.

Seven Sisters Apostolate

The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop—a “holy wasting” (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ. Women at St. Robert Parish make up two groups – one for each of our parish priests. For more information on the Apostolate visit sevensistersapostolate.org. If you would like to get involved with the Seven Sisters at St. Robert, please contact Elizabeth Zimmer.
