Elections to fill three at-large positions on the council for a three year term are held every spring. The parish trustees serve a two years term. It is the responsibility of the council to oversee the overall mission of the parish through its collaborative work with the other committees of the parish. Each parish council member serves as a liaison to another committee in the parish structure. This committee works closely with the pastor and the business manager in monitoring the financial affairs of the parish. .
Monthly meetings deal with review of financial statements, and budgetary control.
The Finance committee also works with staff members in preparing annual fiscal budgets by offering recommendations and guidelines. This committee promotes an awareness within the parish to the needs of the broader community and fosters outreach programs to offer Christian solutions to community and global problems. These committees enhance spiritual growth of parishioners of all ages and further the teaching mission of the church by promoting Christian Education programs that meet the varying needs of the parish members. The St. Robert School Education Committee examines and evaluates the school's education offerings and policies with the purpose of providing a high quality education consistent with Catholic Education and the goals of St. Robert Parish. The Education Committee operates both as an originator of policy and as an advisor to the Principal and Pastor.
