Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

St. Margaret Mary Parish is a vibrant community consisting of over 2100 families. 

August 17, 2009 marked the 44th anniversary of our Parish.  Fr. Timothy Pugh, our founding Pastor, was appointed Pastor of St. Margaret Mary on March 19, 1968 by Archbishop Philip Hannan.  Fr. Pugh remained Pastor until his death in December of 1969.  Fr. Richard Carroll was appointed Pastor on January 17, 1970 and served as Pastor of St. Margaret Mary for almost 30 years.  Archbishop Francis Schulte appointed me as Pastor on September 11, 1999.

Our parish is an active faith-filled parish with a strong commitment to Eucharistic Adoration.  We have had 24-hour Eucharistic Adoration in our chapel since 1983.  Our school is a Blue Ribbon School with approximately 700 students. We have over 50 active ministries serving the needs of the parish.

I hope you find this Parish website helpful.  It contains useful parish information as well as descriptions and scheduling info for many of our ministries.  Please take a moment to look at the list of ministries to see if there is one you may be interested in knowing more about or possibly joining.  I invite you to share your time, prayer and talent in supporting our ministries.  Please feel free to call the appropriate leader or the church office if you would like to be involved.

With prayer for you and all of your loved ones, I am

Sincerely in Christ,

Rev. Msgr. Lanaux Rareshide
Pastor
