Dear Parishioners,
 
Have you noticed?  The area in front of the rectory has been weeded.  Also, mulch has been added to make our church grounds more beautiful.  Our thanks to John and Sarah Discenza, Steve and Paula Lundberg, and John and Kathy Reynolds for their great work!
 
Last Sunday's  parish picnic was a huge success!!  So many people came together to help set up, cook, and clean up at the end.  I am most grateful to all who helped—especially the cooks, the staff, volunteers in the kitchen, and our great musicians who added so much to our beautiful liturgy.  The weather did cooperate for an outdoor Mass, and everyone had a great time at the outdoor picnic after Mass.     Spread the word... great things are happening at St. Margaret's!
 
Congratulations to Joseph and Nicole Villapiano whose daughter June Lynn is being baptized this weekend.  May June Lynn always know the love of her family, friends and our church community.
 
Will you be having a baby in the near future?  Please call me at the church office to set up an appointment for a pre-baptismal class.  Godparents are welcome to attend also. 
 
Did you remember to make your annual HOPE APPEAL pledge or donation?  If not, please send in your donation or pledge soon. 

Many thanks. God Bless You,  Fr. Paul J. Alciati
