Monsignor Regan was my teacher, Spiritual Director and friend. He helped me to be the priest I am! Trying to remember: separating us and those in heaven is only a wall that´s paper thin!

I remember Msgr well. As a young man he assisted my late wife, Sherri, in converting to Catholicism and then he married us at Sacred Heart in 1965. RIP
