Welcome to the Parish Website of Maria Regina R.C. Church Seaford, New York |

| THIS WEEK’S GOSPEL READING: John 17: 20-26 Our Lord prayed as a man, and as the Mediator of his people; yet he spoke with majesty and authority, as one with and equal to the Father. Eternal life could not be given to believers, unless Christ, their Surety, both glorified the Father, and was glorified of him

Emmaus Walking Need to get some exercise? Are winter doldrums still hanging in? We have just the remedy. We call it Emmaus Walking. We will meet in the Chapel every Thursday morning at 9:30 am, break open scripture then set out walking 2 by 2 with questions to talk about from the scripture. We’ll walk around Maria Regina Campus for a half hour. We’ll return to the Chapel for a closing. We are hoping to exercise the heart and rekindle faith and hope in the soul.
Finding Faith in the Movie We will be showing the movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel", a dramedy about a band of retirees in India and the challenges and transformations they undergo. A film filled with humor as well as a different look at seniors trying to decipher the meaning and the mystery of their lives. Join us on Tuesday, May 7th at 12:30 PM in the St. Michael’s Room.
