Our ParishAs a worshipping Roman Catholic parish family we are guided by a collegial partnership of laity, pastor, and ministerial staff. Together we seek to foster spiritual growth through the active practice of Christianity. By the sharing of our God-given talents and resources with all God's people we strive for peace and justice as the "Parish with Heart."
For over 30 years, St. Margaret Mary has cared for the youth of our parish and the surrounding community. Volunteers and professional staff have created a vision for youth ministry that includes faith formation, small christian communities, sacramental preparation and peer leadership. We hope that you will join us in continuing to empower young people to be disciples of Jesus Christ. |
