Financial Stewardship & Fundraising
Financial Stewardship
Christian stewardship begins with Christ’s message of love. It is our willingness to combine our efforts and to share generously our material gifts to help our parish fulfill its mission, which is Christ’s mission – to teach, to draw us all into a community of faith-filled people, to serve God and one another, and to celebrate our faith. We cannot do everything or help everyone, but through financial stewardship we can participate and make things happen!
STEWARDSHIP PLEDGES
Each fall the parish Stewardship Committee puts a spotlight on fiscal stewardship as part of their Time, Talent and Treasure Campaign. Find out more in this year’s letter. We invite you to prayerfully consider how you can support the parish’s mission, knowing that every gift makes a difference in building a vibrant faith community. If you’d like to pledge your financial support, you can download and print this form or you can submit your pledge online. Printed forms can be mailed to or dropped off at the Parish Office or placed in the collection baskets during Mass.
Pledges can be paid with checks made payable to St. Robert Parish or by credit card (see below). If you would like information on receiving stewardship envelopes in the mail please contact Debe Dannecker in the Parish Office.
ONLINE GIVING
St. Robert Parish utilizes WeShare for our online giving. Through WeShare you can securely make a one-time donation or set up a recurring contribution with your credit/debit card, bank account, PayPal, or Google Pay.

Fundraising
Raise Right Program (formerly Scrip)
Purchase pre-paid cards for retailers you frequent on a regular basis, including stores such as Sendiks, Starbucks, The Gap, Home Depot, Whole Foods, Mobil gas cards and others. We buy the cards at a bulk discount, you pay face value for each card, and the Parish receives the difference. Order forms can be found here and cards will be delivered to school or the Parish Office. Want to place an order monthly? Find the monthly order form here. You may also contact Kathy Wyatt at (414) 350-9562, kpwscrip@gmail.com for information. Visit our Raise Right volunteers in the back of church after weekend Masses!
SCRIP rebates are used to cover expenses at the parish for various non-budgeted projects. If you DON’T currently participate, PLEASE! start now. For those of you who DO participate, THANK YOU! for your ongoing support.
Here are a few of the projects SCRIP rebates have funded in recent years:
- Activities for the Wise Adult Ministry (WAM) for seniors including the annual Holiday Luncheon.
- Repairs to the flagpole in front of the school.
- Replacement of fixtures, painting, and more in the church bathroom.
- Updated plumbing on campus to meet new codes.
- New boiler in the Parish Office/Rectory building.
