SPECIFICS OF OUR PARISH FAMILY
We are a Parish of the Diocese of Rockford. Our neighboring Archdiocese to the
East is Chicago and the Diocese to the Southeast is Joliet. Saint Margaret Mary
is a growing community which includes parts of Algonquin, parts of Lake in the
Hills, and parts of Barrington Hills. We are a Stewardship Parish who believes
that belonging to a Parish Family involves more than just attending Mass. God
blesses us and gives us our Time, our Talents and our Treasure. Our Parish prides
itself on being a "giving" parish. In thanksgiving to all that God has given to
us, each parishioner is asked to share a portion of their gifts of Time, Talent
and Treasure for the growth and development of God's Kingdom. The many ministries
of our Parish Family, as well as, the contributions of treasure allow the parish
to do the work of God both within and without the parish. This "giving of ourselves" makes us a Stewardship Parish.
