Be Transformed
“People who pray regularly before the Blessed Sacrament become more tranquil, more patient, more charitable, and more forgiving. Ac-tually, they become more holy. No matter what attracts people to come to Eucharistic Adoration, many are learning that prayer before the Blessed Sacrament can and will transform them and make them more like Christ.” (Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua).
Eucharistic Adorers are welcome anytime to pray before the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle, but are especial-ly needed each week on Tuesdays. Please call Renee Shaw at 659-5469 or email [email protected] to sign-up for an hour that works for you. Every Friday, there is Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the Mon-strance following the 8:30 a.m. Mass until Benediction at 5:30 pm. Please come and pray with your family! Extra adorers are always needed in the church on Fridays to ensure the Blessed Sacrament is not left alone.
The St. Robert's Men's Club will
be selling Father's Day Cards after all Masses starting May 26. This is a great way to remember that special man in your life. For a $5.00 Donation any man living or deceased will be added to the book and placed on the Altar to be remembered during the Masses on Father's Day. Stop by before or after Mass to make your donation.
Join us for Mass at St. Robert Cemetery at 8:30 a.m.

CCW News
Warm weather has arrived, and we are thinking of clean-
ing closets, looking at items in our household that we are
no longer using. Here is your chance
to organize your life by donating these
items so they can be sold to someone
else who has been looking for just that
item. Your “why am I keeping this?”
Can become “I have been looking for
this” for someone else. This is perfect recycling.
The CCW annual Rummage Sale will be
held on Wednesday, June 20th, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM,
and on Thursday, June 21st from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
You may bring your clean useable items to the Activity
Center on Thursday and Friday, June 14 & 15 between
9:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Saturday, June 16 between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
