If you weren’t able to join us this morning, please take a moment to watch this video with guest celebrant Fr. Bernard Murphy. His words are so inspiring and timely as we prepare to begin another new school year.

Prayer and fasting for peace:
Pope Francis says his heart aches over the situation in Ukraine and invites everyone to make March 2nd, Ash Wednesday, “A Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace”.

“I encourage believers in a special way to dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting on this day. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war,” he said.

Important Reminder for those attending 10am Mass this Sunday, July 4th, 2021! The Annual 4th of July Parade for the town of Madison is being held this Sunday, July 4th at 10:00am. This will coincide with our 10:00am weekend Mass and as a result will cause a great deal of traffic in the surrounding area.

16 kids from St. Margaret’s SMYLE group participated in this year’s “Mission Impossible”. When their annual mission trip to Brooklyn, NY was cancelled due to COVID, the group knew they still wanted to do something. For 2 straight days, they worked outside in 102 degree weather painting donated furniture to Columbus House, collecting and sorting 42 bags of clothing and linens for Goodwill and they created 40 baskets filled with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and cleaning essentials for single mothers and their young children to use as they move from shelters to apartments. They also created legacy building kits for the nurses in the NICU at Yale to give to families when a newborn infant dies, as well as sympathy cards of support that these families will receive in the years following their loss.

These teens really outdid themselves in giving back to their community! We are so proud of them all!

Many thanks to Jennifer Papa, Carolyn Mader and Lisa Engelhart who worked tirelessly to make this year’s mission trip happen! We are also grateful to Chris Wilson, Kerry McKeown, Susan Bader and Amy Laffargue for supervising and helping during the 2 days. The teens that participated are Katie Sanford, Pamela, Chris & Michael Engelhart, Sean McSweeney, Adam Laffargue, Callie Richards, Meryl Sullivan, Olivia Papa, Henry & Willi Wilson, Ava & Bella Lombardi, Claire Bader, Luke Johnson, and Kylie Ameika. Great job, everyone!
