In 1974 John sold his dry-cleaning business and with his wife Joan and three children moved to Florida. The plan was to reenter the broadcasting business in which he had served for several years as a television weather man and radio news broadcaster.  Unfortunately most "on air talent" employed in Florida rarely sought positions elsewhere preferring to "stay put" and live the "good life." Consequently John purchased a large dry cleaning business and made Florida his permanent home. 

A few years later, after answering an ad in a church bulletin, he found himself working as a volunteer in prison ministry. Along with a dedicated group of co-workers, he frequently visited inmates in the county jail and regional prison. A few months passed and he was elected president of the organization.  Three years later the Catholic Diocese Of Palm Beach was born and John along with his fellow volunteers disbanded their group and offered their services as volunteers with the Office of Prison Ministry. Ultimately he was asked by the Office of Prison Ministry to form a permanent program for inmates at the County Jail. During this time he continued to distribute pro-life literature in public places and occasionally prayed outside abortion clinics with other pro-lifers. Eventually he joined Palm Beach County Right To Life League Inc. and a year later was elected president.  Today he continues to serve in the office of vice president. 

Since 1990 John has been writing religious books, and a few years ago perceived the need to help those who have been involved in abortion.

Return of the Children is a message to all souls that have been involved in abortion, and all those who are considering it. The message is clear;

"God loves you. If you have been involved in abortion, repent, and accept God's mercy, forgiveness, and healing.  If you are considering abortion, turn to God for help. He will help you choose life for your child."

John Regan will continue, with millions of pro-life Americans, to reach out to those in need and help them see that all life is sacred. He may be contacted at johndregan@att.net.
