The mainstay of the Roman Catholic faith in Shorewood, St. Robert occupies a prominent frontage on Capitol Drive and serves a parish of 1,200 families. The church was incorporated in 1912 and the current building, considered an outstanding example of Lombardy Romanesque architecture, was dedicated in 1937. Among its features are Mary's Garden, a new outdoor prayer garden, and the sanctuary's large Kilgen pipe organ. The church complex also includes St. Robert School, serving kindergarten through 8th grade children (see separate listing for details).
Archbishop Albert E. Meyer established Our Lady of Lourdes Congregation as a parish in 1958. The name was chosen because it was the centennial anniversary of the appearance of the Blessed Mother to St. Bernadette at Lourdes. A wing of classrooms was added to the building in 1961 to meet the need of burgeoning class sizes. The '70s and '80s brought tremendous growth to the parish in membership, programs, committees and staffing.
All of the changes and growth over 30 years have made Our Lady of Lourdes a destination parish. The '90s brought great overhauls to the worship in both space, converting the gymnasium to a church, and style, by introducing dramatic presentations and dance to the liturgies. Expanded music and drama programs were brought into the fold.
Our Lady of Lourdes also hosts an Annual Fun Fest for the community. Beginning in 1985, the festival has been a means of gathering the community and celebrating the parish.
