AREAS OF SOCIAL ACTION
These various ministries deal with the care of the poor, the needy, the homeless, the aged, and uphold the value of life through social action and a pro-life stance. The heart of this ministry is God's call to the corporal works of mercy.
Interfaith Food Pantry
Our parish joins with other churches in the area to provide food for the needy. People are needed to staff and organize the two food pantries.
Meals-on-Wheels
For three months out of the year, volunteers from Saint Margaret Mary Parish family deliver hot, nutritious lunches 5 days a week to homebound senior citizens in the community. More drivers are needed as well as a scheduler.
Pro-Life Committee
Pro-Life is committed to raising awareness in the parish about the beauty of the maturing pre-born baby. We financially support women who are pregnant and in need of clothing, medical care, or a place to live, and spiritually adopt pre-born babies and their parents with prayer support during Advent Season.
Social Outreach Ministry
This group works with the parish homebound, needy children, and nursing home residents. Some of the ministry's activities include: Christmas Giving Tree, Easter Baskets for youngsters and shut-ins, Food Pantry, Habitat for Humanity, and school supplies.
