"But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, "There is no need for you to be afraid. I know your are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. he is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would." (Mt. 28:5-6)

Let us give thanks and praise to God as we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord this Easter Season!

Let us be "Easter people", who witness to God's love in all we do.

St. Margaret Mary Parish is currently engaging in a discernment process regarding whether our parish should host a PADS site at our facility. Please join us in a time of prayer and discernment about whether to become a PADS homeless shelter site. Please review our PADS Discernment page for more information.

Progress on construction of the new addition continues, as the steel framing of the soffits has been completed, and much of the siding has been installed. Work on the roof, coping, and skylights continues. Much progress has been made with the plumbing and electrical work on the lower level. Excavation in the existing boiler room, needed to run plumbing related to installation of a fire pump, has been completed.

We thank everyone for their continued patience during this construction period. To enter the church, please continue using the Naper Blvd. entrances, the path around the construction zone, or the handicapped entrance on the east side of the church.
