The Ladies Guild was the very first parishioner organization established at the founding of St. Robert’s and has a long history of promoting faith and fellowship.

The Guild membership year runs January  through December. All women of St. Robert’s parish are welcome to join the Guild. Supporting members contribute with dues and in prayer; active members contribute with dues and volunteering to support pillars of service and/or join a Circle. 

2025 MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Dear women of St. Robert’s Parish, The St. Robert’s Guild is a vibrant group with so many facets. There are social circles, and three Pillars of Service with quite a number of committees within each. When you officially join the Guild, you can choose your level of participation. Dues alone go toward causes supporting scholarships, parish events, EPS, and more. The Guild was the very first organization established when St. Robert’s was founded in 1966. We have a rich history. All women of the parish are invited to be a part of it!

Maintaining the membership roster is much simpler when parishioners enroll/renew online. We strongly encourage online enrollment/renewal.
