Quasquicentennial – 125th Anniversary

St. Margaret of Scotland Church was birthed on Christmas Day 1899 by founding pastor Father John J. O’Brien.

On December 25, 2025, St. Margaret of Scotland celebrated its 125th Anniversary with a lot of revelry!

Over the course of this Quasquicentennial year (July 2024-June 2025), our SMOS community had many opportunities to gather as a parish family to celebrate and give thanks to God for all the blessings given to this community over the past 125 years.

Parishioner Valerie Hahn has put together and updated the St. Margaret of Scotland parish history from the last 25 years (1999-2024). Please check out this anniversary write-up in honor of the SMOS Quasquicentennial.
