 Welcome to St. Robert Parish

Ichthys Program

What is Ichthys?

“Ichthys” is a faith formation program of high school students to either provide primary education for high school students not in theology classes or a supplement to theology classes already taught in Catholic high schools.  The name “ichthys” is a Greek word which means “fish”.   The Greek letters in the word “ichthys” form an acronym for “Jesus Christ, Son of God and Savior”. It is symbolized by a fish with the letters inside.  The symbol was used by the early Christian community as a secret symbol used to mark a place of meeting where they would gather in prayer and praise and discuss their faith.  Although the early Christians met in secret for fear of persecution, their spirit will be with us as we gather together free to worship and learn about our faith.  We will be meeting starting in the fall and podcasting simultaneously for anyone who cannot join us for our meetings.  For now, enjoy this first podcast, sort of a preview of things to come!
