Welcome<br />
Welcome to <strong>Shine</strong>! Everyone knows <strong>2017</strong> was a big year for our parish: former Pastor Blaise Cupich<br />
was elevated as the Cardinal of the Chicago archdiocese; Fr. Steven Stillmunks celebrated his 40th year<br />
as a priest; and, the Ladies Guild celebrated its 50th anniversary. Hence, the theme: Ruby Red Year of<br />
the Cardinal!<br />
Tonight we celebrate our wonderful parish community. As chairs of<br />
this year’s event, we are grateful to have worked with many amazing<br />
volunteers. People were incredibly generous sharing their time, talent<br />
and treasure for the success of this evening.<br />
Do we hope to raise money for our parish and school? Absolutely.<br />
But what is more important is that everyone enjoys themselves tonight.<br />
We hope you reconnect with some old friends and maybe make some<br />
new friends.<br />
<strong>2017</strong>: Ruby<br />
Red Year of<br />
the Cardinal<br />
Along the way, we hope you feel inspired. Ten percent of tonight’s proceeds will benefit the Healing<br />
Kadi Foundation (caring for people in South Sudan) and the Christ Child Society which provides<br />
layettes for young, pregnant women and their babies.<br />
We are blessed to have chaired <strong>Shine</strong> this year! Thank you for coming and sharing the evening with<br />
your St. Robert’s family.<br />
Blessings to you all,<br />
Stacey and Mark Floersch<br />
Dana and Steve Patterson<br />

Award<br />
JACK AND THE LATE REGINA MINTON<br />
DAN AND JENNI OWENS<br />
Jack and Regina Minton were married for 58<br />
wonderful years, and they raised 10 children<br />
together. They were founding members of St. Robert<br />
Bellarmine and the founding pastor Fr. Eugene<br />
Kerwin’s go-to couple.<br />
While Jack served as the President of Mutual of<br />
Omaha, he never said no to any pastor who asked<br />
him to serve on a capital campaign for the parish.<br />
Jack recently served on the Jubilee Campaign as an<br />
honorary chair with Fr. Donald Shane.<br />
Fr. Kerwin asked Regina to organize a Ladies Guild<br />
for the new parish. This year the Ladies Guild<br />
celebrates 50 years of service, and a scholarship for<br />
girls in the parish was created in Regina’s honor.<br />
It was the Ladies Guild, under the guidance of Fr.<br />
Kerwin and Regina Minton, that began the parish’s<br />
Perpetual Adoration; a lasting legacy that continues<br />
to this very day. Regina also was one of the<br />
founding members of the Welcome Committee for<br />
new parishioners.<br />
Their eight children all attended St. Robert<br />
Bellarmine School.<br />
Dan and Jenni Owens started their married life in<br />
Florida in 1989 where Dan served in the U.S. Coast<br />
Guard. In 1995, they moved to Omaha, close to St.<br />
Robert Bellarmine and raised eight children.<br />
Dan has been involved in the Mens’ Basketball<br />
League, served on the Athletic Commission, assisted<br />
with the Annual Golf tournament to benefit the<br />
youth of the parish, was a basketball coach, Track<br />
Commissioner, Scout Leader and a member of the<br />
Knights of Columbus. He also has served on the<br />
Catholic Charities Board, the governing board<br />
of Music in Catholic Schools and the Boy Scout<br />
Executive Board in Omaha.<br />
Jenni is a fixture at St. Robert’s school. She helps<br />
students prepare for Math contests, co-founded the<br />
Elizabeth Ministry for families mourning the loss of<br />
their infants, oversees the FIAT (Faith Integration<br />
Action Team) newsletter and organized childcare<br />
during Parish Missions and Adoration. She has<br />
served on the Total Education Board, the Welcome<br />
Committee, Family Ministry’s St. Nick at Night,<br />
an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion<br />
(EMHC) and is a member of the Ladies Guild.<br />
Together, Dan and Jenni are Adoration Captains<br />
and spend time as Nocturnal Adorers. Their<br />
children and grandchildren have attended St. Robert<br />
Bellarmine School.<br />

Teacher Tree<br />
“He shall cover thee with his feath ers,<br />
and under his wings shalt thou trust.”<br />
— PSALM 91:4<br />
Birds of a feather flock together! Nationally known artist and parishioner Michelle Moffitt captures<br />
the spirit of St. Robert’s flock with her uniquely designed and created 40 original mosaic art pieces.<br />
Each one of the stylized birds entails a 10-part process from original design, cutting glass to final<br />
seal. Michelle poured over 120 hours of design and labor into these special works of art, and she has<br />
graciously donated her time, talent and treasure so that 100 percent of the proceeds will be divided and<br />
go directly to the Five-Day and Religious Education teachers at St. Roberts.<br />
We thank the Five-Day school and Religious Education teachers<br />
for contributing ideas, time and service to make the night a success.<br />
Heads + Tails<br />
Win an Apple Watch! To play the game, a $10 donation is required. When it is time to play, those<br />
who have contributed will rise and place their hands on their head (heads) or on their bottom (tails).<br />
Omaha’s own NFL referee, Clete Blakeman will conduct the coin flips. If it lands on heads, then all<br />
those with their hands on their heads remain standing and continue playing. Those with their hands<br />
on their bums sit down. Or vice versa if the coin lands on tails. This continues until one person remains<br />
standing. That person is the winner of an Apple Watch!<br />
