Did you know?
Original building plans for Maria Regina School included a basement with a Cafeteria. The builders were unable to go deep enough into the ground,and the basement level and cafeteria could not be built. When school opened in 1962, children ate lunch in their classrooms or went home for lunch.


 


The Pastoral Council is looking for new members preferably college age. We are looking for those who practice our faith, can commit to meeting every two months and are willing to take on committee work.

What is a Pastoral Council?
The Council, in consultation with the Pastor, identifies and prioritizes the needs, hopes, and dreams of the parishioners, in accord with the Parish mission statement. Success depends on input from parishioners to council members. Research and investigation is done for each item by priority to judge the feasibility for implementation at Maria Regina.

If you are interested, please contact a Council Member clicking here.

Or feel free to contact a member through the Rectory by mailing or dropping off a handwritten communication or by emailing mariareg@optonline.net.
