Regina Catholic School’s Ukrainian Program
|
This year the Ukrainian Program will have a different delivery model. Students will not be transported during school hours due to guidelines set out by the Chief Medical Officer and Regina Catholic Schools. The program will have a two-pronged approach, online instruction and information as well as face-to-face instruction. The program will run on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at St. Matthew. Parents can bring their students on either of those dates when it works best for their schedule. The student’s health and safety is paramount to us and all sanitization protocols set out by the Chief Medical Officer and Regina Catholic Schools will be followed to the letter. We are looking for your commitment to this new delivery model so that Ukrainian Program can continue during this time of uncertainty. Please contact Susan Kohuch at s.kohuch@rcsd.ca or 306-530-5786 if you are interested or would like more information about the program. |

Welcome To Little Flower
Roman Catholic Church
Little Flower parish was established in 1930, and today serves almost 500 families from our beautiful church near Regina's core.
Our mission: Little Flower, as a faith community, reaches out to all in service, compassion and love to fulfill our mission of proclaiming the gospel daily in word and deed.
Our Patron, St. Thérèse
I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses.
Thérèse Martin entered a Carmelite convent at age fifteen. As Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus, she lived a hidden life. She was just 24 when she died of TB. The world came to know her through her autobiography, The Story of a Soul.
She described her life as “a little way of spiritual childhood.” She lived each day with unshakable confidence in God’s love. What matters in life is “not great deeds, but great love.”
“My mission — to make God loved — will begin after my death,” she said. “I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses.”
This is the reason St.Thérèse’s emblem is a crucifix covered with a profusion of roses. The celebration of her Feast Day is October 1.
Our Stained Glass Windows
The windows in Little Flower church were designed and manufactured by Rault Freres, of Rennes, France, and installed by Burns Hanley Co. Ltd. of Regina.

Spiritual Act of Communion
For times of isolation
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
