Catholic Schools Week
We wish to thank all of the Regina students and families who helped with our Catholic Schools Week liturgies. Thanks also to the Regina Choir and Brian Mueller for singing so beautifully at the 11 AM Mass.
A Call to the Priesthood
The Church is in great need of dedicated, capable, and holy priests. If you know a young man who, in your opinion, would make a good priest, please send his name and address to Fr. Ken. Many priests today (including Fr. Ken) say that they first thought about a vocation to the priesthood after someone suggested it to them. God may be using you to extend His call to a future priest. Please give this your serious thought and prayerful consideration.
CEW Renewal
The Monthly CEW Renewal will be held at St. Mary's Parish Hall following the 5:10 Mass on Saturday, Feb. 11th. This is an informal social gathering. Snacks and beverages are provided and families are welcome. |
Inquiry Sessions
Inquiry Sessions for adults wanting to learn more about the Catholic faith will be held on Tuesday, February 21st and Thursday, February 23rd from 7-8 PM in the parish hall. We will also have a session on Sunday,
February 19th from 11AM to noon in the rectory. Inquiry Sessions are for those baptized in another Christian faith, for the unbaptized, and for adult Catholics who were never confirmed. It is an informal opportunity to find out more about the Adult Initiation process at St. Mary's. Each session is the same, so you only need to attend one session. "Come and see!"
Young Married and Engaged Catholic Adults
Would you like to get together with other couples, support each other through life events, and pray together? We invite you to join us on Sunday, March 5th, at 5 PM in St. Mary's parish hall. We will do
introductions and then eat at a restaurant of the group's choice. For more information please contact Jason and Jennifer at 341-8566 or email them at
jasonandjenniferrantk@yahoo.com.
REGINA HAPPENINGS
THANKS TO ALL!
Regina would like to thank everyone who donated to the "Regina Sunday" collection. The school is certainly blessed to have the support they receive from the
Catholic community in Iowa City. Your generosity is overwhelming. The school would also like to thank all of the pastors for all of the support they give. Without their support and guidance, Regina would not be as
successful. Please remember, you can return you Regina Sunday envelope at any time.
Cub Scout Pancake Breakfast
Regina Cub Scout Pack 210 is hosting a pancake breakfast on February 5th from 7:30 AM to noon at Regina. We will be serving "all you can eat" pancakes, sausage, eggs, juice, and coffee for $5 per adult and $3 for children 12 and under. The scouts and their families will be preparing the meal. This is Pack 210's only fundraiser of the year and the proceeds help defer the cost of scouting for each person. It is our goal to make enough money to make scouting free for the year.
Regina Booster Club Fish Fry
Come and enjoy the Annual Booster Club Fish Fry at Regina Education Center beginning February 24th through April 14th from 5-8 PM. This year we will be serving in the new and expanded cafeteria! Parking will be located in the lot behind the school, which is closer to the back door of the building. Shrimp or salmon
dinners will be $9 and cod or catfish dinners will be $8. To go orders may be called in after 4:30 PM to 338-5436. |
