Ministries

Ministry Groups

St. Regis Ministries all fit in the categories of the  4 Pillars of Stewardship: Hospitality, Prayer, Formation and Service. Through these Pillars, parishioners are invited to experience, witness and live as good stewards in response to their baptismal call to discipleship.  By making our parish a place of Hospitality, Prayer, Formation and Service, many opportunities are provided for parishioners to pray, participate and give while utilizing their God given time, talent and treasure.   


Listed below are all our parish groups, which are called Ministries in reflection of our call to discipleship. To learn more about any of the Ministries, simply click on the name of the group.
