EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

WITH CONFESSIONS

Join us for Adoration and Confessions every Wednesday 6:00-7:00pm.

ST. REGIS STEWARDSHIP CORNER This weekend we celebrate the feast of Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit among the fearful believers of the early Church. Saint Paul reminds us of the special power the Holy Spirit has bestowed upon us to give us confidence and how that power gives us the potential to live extraordinary lives of faith. Good stewards recognize this power and use their gifts, through God’s channel of grace, to transform their lives and the lives of others. Good stewards know that it is through the Holy Spirit that they can proclaim: “Jesus is Lord.” How do we allow the Holy Spirit to work within us to give us strength, confi-dence and hope?

The Art and Environment Committee is grateful to those who made donations to the flower fund for the Easter season. Please remember

their friends and relatives in prayer. Jerry & Sharon Walker –Vern & Mary Mitchell; Marvin & Edith Walker

FATHER’S DAY Father’s Day is Sunday, June, 21st. We will honor and remember all of our fathers at the Masses the weekend of June 20 and 21.

You can make a contribution in their name and place your envelope in the regular collection at Mass-es or bring it to the Parish Office.

Parking Lot & Playground Campaign

November 2019 through December 2020

Although the campaign will run through Dec. 2020, we hope to have the funds to complete the work next summer. The first phase of the project will be the parking lot, an approximately $100,000 renova-tion. With 141 spaces, that is about $730 a space. The second phase includes updating the play-ground. We are anticipating phase two to be about $50,000. Please contribute generously!

PLEASE NOTE The Parish Office is now open Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm.

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION Month 8: Now I am just gaining weight and I am proba-bly starting to make my moth-er uncomfortable with my size. In a short time, I will be born. On behalf of mom and me, thank you for your prayers for the past eight months. They have given her the grace she needed to make the right choices. “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.” Cor. 15:56-58

ALL COUNCIL MEETING The annual All-Council meeting will be on Saturday, June 6th at 8am until noon. This is an impor tant time when members of the Councils at St. Regis come together for planning and visioning for the coming year.
