Mission Statement

St. Margaret Mary Parish
Mission Statement

Saint Margaret Mary parish was established in 1965 to serve the needs of a growing Catholic community in Slidell, Louisiana.

Our parish family has grown, flourished and diversified in its membership due to our commitment to spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ under the leadership of our Archbishop and the entire Magisterium, our belief in the innate dignity of every human being and our commitment to Perpetual Adoration.

With the power of the Holy Spirit and the example of our Blessed Mother we hope to prepare for future generations of Catholics by acknowledging our stewardship of resources, by building up our community, by valuing our

Catholic traditions and by striving to live by our beliefs with the Eucharist at the center of our faith life in imitation of our Patroness, St. Margaret Mary.

We honor, praise and adore God the Father.
We celebrate and revere the sacrifice of Jesus, God’s Son.
We seek and are open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 
We value, promote and enhance life through our liturgical, educational and social ministries. 
We celebrate the gift of life!
