For 2026, the St. Margaret of Scotland Parish Lenten Project partnered with the Wellston Center. Once again, this Lenten Project was a major success – and the Wellston Center benefited from our parish contributions.
Know of my prayers for you and your family for a blessed Triduum and Happy Easter. Let us keep these days together, let us keep these days holy in our hearts, and let us celebrate these days worthily and well!
Fr. John encourages everyone to make every effort to join our parish family for the holy Triduum, especially Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. He also welcomes all to join for confessions on March 28 from 3-4:15pm.
