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).
