In and through our full, conscious, and active liturgical participation, we are enabled and empowered to foster solidarity in the world, deepen our relationships with each other, and to grow in communion with God. We are made one, then sent forth as conduits of God’s healing presence in the world.
Children generally receive their First Communion in the spring during 2nd grade. If your child is in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, participates in PSR, or attends St. Margaret of Scotland School, please contact your leaders for more information.
If you are an adult and are interested in learning more about the Eucharist or about becoming Catholic, please consider participating in RCIA, or contact Peter Hesed at (314) 776-2255.
Sacraments
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick offers God’s healing grace and strength to those experiencing physical, emotional, or spiritual illness, with communal celebrations held throughout the year and individual anointing available upon request.
We all know the excitement that comes when a baby is born. So too, we rejoice when a new Christian is born! The Sacrament of Baptism, the first of the Catholic Church’s Sacraments of Initiation, is a sacred ritual where a person becomes a new creature, dying and rising with Jesus, through water and the Holy Spirit.
Confirmation is the Sacrament that completes Christian initiation, empowering young people and adults to embrace their identity in Christ, deepen their faith, and become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church.
The Sacrament of Holy Orders calls men to a life of service in the Church, and St. Margaret of Scotland is proud of its longstanding tradition of supporting clergy and fostering vocations to the priesthood.
The Sacrament of Marriage is a lifelong covenant in which a couple nurtures and grows in love, faith, and family life, revealing God’s presence in the world through their shared vocation.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (also called Penance, Confession, or the Sacrament of Forgiveness) is the grace-filled event at which we recognize our sinfulness, receive absolution, and celebrate the freedom of being right with God once again.
