Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

We read in this liturgical cycle:

The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi"—which translated means Teacher—, "where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they went and saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with him that day. . . Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah"—which is translated Christ. Then he brought him to Jesus.     —John 1:37–42

As you view this website the invitation is extended to "Come, and you will see." As our parish mission statement reflects "we are the largest Christian congregation in our community, we recognize our responsibility to demonstrate Jesus Christ’s presence by our words and actions." The following WebPages are indications of how the parish community of Saint Margaret Mary carries this out. You are most welcome to worship with us and find God’s presence among us, especially through the Sacraments.

May the peace of the Messiah be with you.

Pastor
