St. Margaret's Church is committed to the Principles of Catholic Social Teaching. In working to live out these vital principles, St. Margaret's strives to address immediate needs (charity) and also seeks to understand and change the root causes that lead to social problems (social justice). As a faith community that seeks to follow the life of Jesus of Nazareth, we offer our financial, physical, and spiritual support to:
