Liturgical Ministry
The celebration of Mass is the heart of what we do here at
St. Margaret's, but we can't celebrate Mass without Liturgical Ministers who fulfill vital roles in the celebration. There are opportunities for people of all ages.

One City Café
As many of you know, for the last 14 months, One City Café has been open and serving only carry out food to its clients. With that, they have only been using a small handful of volunteers to serve.

Music Ministry
The music at St. Margaret's uses both traditional hymns and contemporary worship songs to create a vibrant Mass experience. Recently, we have also started our Wednesday Worship Services which focus on themes like Justice, Patience and Rejoicing!
There are many ways to get involved with the music ministry at St. Margaret's:
-
Cantors lead the congregational singing during liturgies. Musical background is necessary, along with leadership and singing ability.
-
Instrumentalists play with the music director, adding to the musical experience of the Mass. All instruments will be considered, but the overall musical ensemble will need to be considered.
-
There are two choirs at St. Margaret’s that parishioners can participate in.
-
Adult Choir - This group focuses on singing in harmony and their overall musicality. This group sings at one weekend of Masses a month as well as special occasions like Christmas and Easter.
-
Children’s Choir - This group focuses on singing pieces together while learning basic music terminology and how to sing in a group. This group is open to all children in Kindergarten and up.
-
NOTE: Choirs are suspended due to COVID-19.

Lenten Fish Fries
This is an annual event that takes place during six Fridays in Lent. They are a wonderful way to meet new people and enjoy a nice community dinner with options that change each week. Not your ordinary church dinner, you will be met at the door by our Maître D and seated at a table where a waiter will take your order and return with your hot meal. Our dessert table has such variety that would make anyone with a sweet-tooth smile.
It takes a massive amount of volunteers to make our fish fries a success, come join us and see what the fuss is all about.
Fish Fries are not taking place in 2021 due to COVID-19, but we look forward to their return in 2022.
Community Events
Our Parish Picnic is a great way to meet new people, have fun, and enjoy food prepared by parishioners. A chairperson organizes the picnic and the volunteers with the help of a co-chair. Check back in 2021 to see updates regarding our Parish Picnic.
