Faith Magazine published a special Catholic School edition this month. This issue was intended to inform parents about Catholic schools in the Diocese of Lansing and also promote schools during the always-important spring registration.
Unfortunately, Faith Magazine published incorrect information and a totally inaccurate portrait of St. Robert School, even though they were given correct data and information from the school. A retraction will appear in the June issue of Faith Magazine. I would like to provide the correct data and information on this web site so that the general public receives a true picture of our fine school.
