Historical Mural

Celebrating the rich legacy of St. Robert Church and School

This historical mural, honoring the rich history and tradition of St. Robert Parish and School, is in Reilly Hall.  It was made possible through gifts made in memory of Dick ‘50 and Mary Ann Seelman ’56 Mathews, and with support from the St. Robert Class of 2020. Thank you to Margaret Mathews Sankovitz ’47, parish and school historian, for preserving and sharing these priceless images.
