Respect for Life Committee

Our primary goal is to increase awareness of the dignity and sanctity of life and to promote respect for human life at every stage from conception to natural death. Members of the Committee take part in such activities as the annual Life Chain, hosting guest speakers, sponsoring a collection of baby items for at-risk mothers in October, and ministry of prayer (the Spiritual Adoption program). New members are always welcome. Please call the Parish Office, (414) 332-1164, to participate.

October Collection of Baby Items

Each October, St. Robert parishioners collect baby items for families who seek help from the Women’s Care Center (formerly called the Pregnancy Help Center). Help a struggling family care for their little ones. Needed items include:

diapers of varying sizes
onesies and socks
receiving blankets and washcloths
teething items and crib toys

During October, please check the website for details on the collection, and bring NEW items to church and place them in the baby buggy.

Rosary for Life

All are invited to pray the Rosary for the intention of the protection of the dignity of life on the first Sunday of each month, at 9:50 a.m., in Church.
