Divine Mercy Sunday
Pentecost Sunday
May 20, 2018
ST. REGIS STEWARDSHIP CORNER Today we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, the birth of the Church and the beginning of its mission in the world. Pentecost Sunday reminds us that our lives are filled with the Holy Spirit and God has accomplished creative things in us through this gift. We have been entrusted with this great gift of the Holy Spirit. Now is a good time to ask: Are we being good stewards of this gift? What creative things have we done to glorify God’s accomplishments in us?
GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRATION A Mass honoring all couples in the diocese celebrating 50 years of marriage in the year 2018 will be celebrated by Bishop Johnston at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 10, 2018 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The liturgy will be followed with a dessert reception. This celebration will include all couples who have cele-brated or will be celebrating their Golden Wedding Anni-versary between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. If you were married in 1968, please call the parish office this week so that you can be acknowledged. You will be acknowledged even if you cannot attend the event.

HOSPITAL STAYS All those planning a hospital stay or scheduling a surgery are encouraged to receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick beforehand. Please call the Parish Office or speak to Fr. McCaffery to schedule a convenient time during the week or after Mass. Also, please notify the parish if you or a family member is in the hospital. This is often the only way we know about a hospital stay and allows us to attend to the spiritual needs of our parishioners. Please continue to pray for those who are sick and hospitalized.
MASS INTENTIONS Mass intentions are a way to remember our deceased loved ones or a special need of someone in our life. Each Mass has a designated intention. If you would like to schedule a Mass intention, please call or stop by the Par-ish Office during regular hours. A donation of $10 is suggested for each Mass. Mass intentions can be said for weekday or weekend Masses. If you would like a specif-ic date, it is best to reserve early.
