Dear Parishioners, 
Did you notice our new sign out front?  Our Pastoral Council decided it was time to get a more colorful, welcoming sign, advertising our Mass times and church events.  The old sign will be removed. Our thanks to Harry Bellardini, Walt Kasperek, and Robert Palomo for their help on this project.
 
Nomination for ministry:  How do you live out your faith each day?  What ways are you serving God in your life?  Our parish offers many opportunities for people to get involved.  In previous years we have had a nomination for ministry "campaign"  where parishioners can nominate themselves or others to serve in parish ministry or on a parish committee.  We are working on a parish ministry booklet that will list all of our ministries and committees, who to contact if you wish to get involved, and the membership of each committee.  The nomination box for your suggested nominees will be placed on the baptismal font.    There are many benefits from being involved in parish life-  you meet other parishioners, you feel more a part of the parish, you are serving God through your ministry.  Please consider nominating yourself or a parishioner to be involved in St. Margaret's.
 
We have a Men's Spirituality Group that meets once a month on a Saturday.  The group is open to any men of the parish.  We meet in the chapel.  The group begins with some prayer time, then a short presentation around the topic of male spirituality, and then we have open discussion.  Coffee and snacks are provided.  Past participants have said how much they enjoyed the socialization and the great conversation.  Please join us on Saturday, April 28th at 10 a.m.
 
Many thanks. God Bless You,  Fr. Paul J. Alciati
