A parish is a community of believers and a spiritual family that is supportive and loving. It can be a place to grow spiritually, to put your faith in action, and to use your gifts of time and talent as disciples of Christ. The heart of a parish is the Eucharist, but the parish family is the body that makes it a unique and vibrant community with an exciting parish life. St. Margaret Mary Church offers a variety of ways to be part of that communal family in addition to the celebration of the sacraments.
​
Faith formation is a vital element of the Catholic life as we grow in knowledge and understanding of our faith in Jesus Christ and the Church he gave us. A deeper understanding can lead to a more intimate relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and through the Trinity to the Church and our family, friends, neighbors, parish, and community. Such faith formation is not just for children, but for all of us as we grow as Catholics. Our parish has many opportunities for faith formation that we encourage you to explore. See the "FAITH FORMATION" tab above.
 
Other ways to participate in parish life are through the various parish ministries, including liturgical ministries, such as choir member, reader, altar server, and Eucharist Minister, and others, such as youth ministry, men's and women's groups, to name just a few. God calls us to use our gifts and talents to glorify Him and make life better for other people. Please prayerfully consider these opportunities for getting involved. If you have an idea for a new ministry that you would like to run, please talk to the Pastor. Call the church office for info on our ongoing ministries at (203) 924-4929 or see the "MINISTRIES" tab above for a complete listing.
 
With so many ways to be part of parish life, you'll want to stay informed by regularly reading the weekly bulletin, available here.
