Regina Health Center Celebrates Our 125th Anniversary

The celebration of the Province of Saint Ann (SSS) in the United States continued with a special event at Regina Health Center (RHC), an intercongregational health center in Richfield, Ohio. The Sisters of Charity of Saint Augustine are the sponsoring religious community, and our religious institute was among the founding members who organized it in the late 1980s and early 1990s, culminating in its opening in 1993.

The Provincial Superior, Father John Thomas Lane SSS, presided at the Mass, with the local superior, Joseph Kiet (JK) Nguyen SSS, as the major concelebrant, and Deacon Joseph Bourgeois SSS, assisting. The entire Northeastern Ohio membership of SSS attended the event. Father Lane thanked the sisters, doctors, nurses, therapists, staff, benefactors, and donors for their care of and with the SSS religious over the past 32 years. Currently, the following seven men live in Regina Health Center: Father Paul Bernier, Brother Allen Boeckman, Deacon Joseph Bourgeois, Father Bernard Camiré, Father Ernest Falardeau, Brother Michael Perez, and Father William Young.
