ST. REGIS STEWARDSHIP CORNER In today’s Gospel passage from Luke, we find our Lord appointing disciples to go out and prepare others to re-ceive His invitation into the Kingdom of God. Every verse has something to say about the way a Christian steward should approach others. Let’s look at least one of the coaching tips Christ gives. “The Lord appointed seventy-two others whom He sent out ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place He intended to visit.” In His wisdom, Christ sent His disci-ples out not as individuals but in pairs, as teams. This approach to evangelization certainly provided practical advantages. The disciples could lean on each other for mutual support and encouragement, helping each other to stay on task and to put their heads together to pray and problem-solve. This teamwork approach is just as rele-vant to us modern-day Christian stewards. It takes cour-age and commitment to go out and invite others into the Christian life. We need to work together to do it well.

MEATLOAF MONDAY & FOOD COLLECTION Our commitment to serve St. James Soup Kitchen is next Monday, July 15th Sign-up sheets are available in the Gathering Space. Please bring your sliced, wrapped and frozen meatloaf with you to Mass next weekend, July 13th and 14th and place it in one of the coolers pro-vided. If you cannot bring your meatloaf to Mass call Anne Roberts at 358-5616 or the Parish Office, 761-1608 to make arrangements.

Next weekend is also our monthly food collection. Your canned goods and other non-perishable food donations help keep the food pantry stocked. Your donated food items are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your continued support of these ministries.

L isten in to the best Catholic programming on 1190, 1090, 890 AM your local Catholic Radio Stations. You can stream us at

ON VACATION? When you are out of town, Mass times can be found on the following website: http://www.masstimes.org. Just enter the town or city where you are going. It gives you the names of the nearby churches, their Mass times and website information if available.

ST. REGIS ACADEMY WISH LIST St. Regis Academy is looking for some Classical and beautiful art for our hallways and classrooms. To con-tribute, please see the wish list below or search our Ama-zon wish list.

1. Large picture frames (black or gold in color) 2. Icons of Saints 3. Pictures of Jesus, Mary of the Holy Family 4. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist ls/14I9LXOHOA22C?ref_=wl_share

THINKING OF BECOMING CATHOLIC? The St. Regis Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program will began in September. The RCIA program is not just for people who are new to the faith, it can benefit all. You would not only be growing in your knowledge but would also be able to provide encourage-ment to those who are new to the faith. So if you know of anyone that may be interested in becoming Catholic or just interested in learning what it is the Catholic Church believes and teaches, have them contact me. You can also give me their contact info and I will contact them. If you are Catholic and your spouse is not, talk to them and see if they would be willing to take the classes. They can de-cide after that whether they would like to become Catho-lic or not. Contact Ora Reyes at (816-668-5680), if you are interested or have questions.

ASSISTANCE FUND FOR THE NEEDY There is a special green envelope in your July packet to support the Assistance Fund for the Needy at St. Regis. Your contributions will help provide emergency assis-tance and food to those in need. You may place your en-velope in the regular collection anytime during the month of July.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION WITH CONFESSIONS

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

LITURGICAL MINISTER SCHEDULE The Liturgical Minister Schedule for July and August has been emailed out to Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Serv-ers and Greeters. A hard copy of the schedule is availa-ble on the table in the Gathering Space. If you have any questions about the schedule, please call Colleen in the Parish Office. If you have a conflict with a particular weekend you are scheduled for a ministry, we ask that you please find a substitute. Thank you for serving our parish through theses ministries.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL! For 2019, you can cheer on the KC Chiefs and benefit St. Regis. Purchase your tickets to any or all of the 10 home games using the special link and code below and $10 of your ticket price comes back to St. Regis. Ticket prices will vary from game to game. Two extra Arrowhead events have been added this year. Monster Jam on June 15, 2019 and FC Bayern vs AC Milan on July 23, 2019 Go to https://www.chiefs.com/tickets/ticketfundraiser and use the code: REGISACADEMY.

Tickets are subject to availability. When the available allotment is sold out, inventory will no longer be availa-ble for purchase. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.

GUIDE BOOK & DIRECTORY ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY We are in the process of updating our annual Guide Book & Directory for the church. This book will contain every-thing pertinent to our church: the various ministries, or-ganizations, committees, activities, functions and events plus a complete directory of all members. This book is being provided and direct-mailed to each family at no cost to our church, and it is again being subsidized by local businesses that advertise. If you own or manage a business and would like to find out about advertising in our book, please call the Church Office.

Recent survey results by Guide Book Publishing show that 92.1% of families would rather patronize a Guide Book & Directory advertiser over a non-advertiser. It “will pay” to advertise in our new Guide Book & Directo-ry.

UPDATE MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION Does our Church database have YOUR family member-ship record correct? Here is your chance to update YOUR record for our annual Guide Book & Directory (if you haven’t already done so).

It is time for us to update our database with any changes, additions, or deletions that may have occurred in YOUR family over the past year. Have you changed your phone number? Have you moved? Are you preparing to move soon? Are all of your children still at home and are they all included in your membership record? Do you want your record published?

If you have not already informed the Church Office about changes to your record, please let us know now so that the information in the Guide Book & Directory is correct. The Church Office number is 761-1608.
