St. Margaret Mary Church

You are cordially invited to a celebration following the 4:00 pm Mass on Saturday May 2nd at St. Margaret Mary Church as we honor Father Dan on the 40th Anniversary of his Ordination.

A reception will take place in the Narthex immediately following mass. 

Be sure to stop by and extend your best wishes to Father Dan!

As part of our celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Diocese of Greensburg, Bishop Larry J. Kulick has scheduled Listening Sessions in all seven deaneries this Spring.

Bishop Kulick invites the faithful to gather and reflect on Our Foundation - Our Future as we work together, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to shape the future of our parishes, faith formation programs, Catholic Schools, and how we serve those in need. Bishop Kulick hopes these Listening Sessions will be a time of discussion and collaboration as we prayerfully discern the needs of our diocese now and for future generations.

The faithful are encouraged to attend one of these sessions most convenient to your schedule.

Do you pray for priests? Our priests need your prayers now more than ever.

This ministry started in our parish in June 2024 with seven women willing to spend one hour a week praying for our pastor. Since then, more women have become part of our ministry, and because of their devotion, we are able to pray for all the priests in our parishes.

However, to be sure that each priest is prayed for everyday, we need more women to participate in this ministry.

Please prayerfully consider becoming part of this ministry, and contact me, Lucille Mason, at ronlu1@comcast.net.

St. John Vianney stated, “When people want to destroy religion, they begin by attacking the priest; for when there is no priest, there is no sacrifice; and when there is no sacrifice, there is no religion.”

Our grandparents and parents sacrificed to build our parishes after spending long days in mines, mills and factories. They wanted their children to have places of worship to gather and to pass our faith on to the next generation. The Office of Faith, Family and Discipleship continues that legacy by providing faith formation to both children and adults. When you make your gift to the 2026 Diocesan Lenten Appeal, 75 Years: Our Foundation, Our Future, you continue the legacy of passing on the faith to the next generation.
