The Sacrament of Marriage (Matrimony) is a covenant that mirrors the mutual commitment between God and his people.
Catholics believe the wedding couple confers the Sacrament of Marriage on each other. But the Sacrament of Marriage is not static. The vows that are exchanged are seeds planted in the spiritual lives of the couple. Consider Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed. In a similar way, the couple nurture, tend and grow these sacramental seeds through their relationship with each other and family life, and, along the way, they reveal the Kingdom of God.
If you are interested in learning more about the Sacrament of Matrimony, please schedule an appointment with our Pastor by calling the Rectory at (314) 776-0363 to learn more about marriage preparation.

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.
As the source and summit of Catholic life, the Eucharist lies at the heart of faith and worship at St. Margaret of Scotland, drawing us into a deeper relationship with God and one another and sending us forth to serve the world in Christ’s name.
