Welcome to the Anglican Parish of St. Margaret’s website. We are a very active congregation with something for everybody. Have a look around and be sure to come visit us on Sunday.
Our Mission: To be a growing Christian Community
Parish Prayer
Almighty Father, look graciously upon the members of St. Margaret’s Parish. By the grace of your Holy Spirit, make clear the mission and ministry you have for us. May all we do contribute to the building up of the body of Christ. May we be a growing Christian community, united in love and a blessing to present and future generations. Move the hearts of your people to give willingly and work patiently, that your house may be a place of beauty and utility acceptable to you, our Father; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
