Please Remember “Special Envelopes” In Your Online Giving
REMINDER: If you are one of the many parishioners who now give online for the General Collection, you are no longer receiving envelopes for your contributions (unless otherwise requested) – but that also means that you are no longer prompted to donate for the various additional parish funds and causes, with extra “special envelopes” each month.
This month, we are focusing on the St. Vincent de Paul Society for our additional donation request. If you’d like to donate to support their work for our Neighbors In Need, please go to bit.ly/smosgivenow and select “Society of St. Vincent de Paul” in the dropdown menu, to make your contribution. Thank you.
Remember – you can still log onto WeShare anytime to donate to any of the additional Church causes (i.e., Scholarships, For Kids Sake Education fund, Building Fund, etc.) or the Special Collections. If you have any questions, please contact the Parish Office at parishoffice@stmargaretstl.org or 314-776-0363. To set up or make changes to your online giving, go to stmargaretstl.org/donate.
Please consider making a financial contribution to the Appeal and helping our fellow brothers and sisters in need rise above the obstacles that confront them. To make your gift, return the pledge card (mailed to you or available in the back of Church) in the mail, drop it off at the parish office, or visit the link below.

BULLETIN ARTICLES
Drawing on his love of the theater, Fr. John offers a thoughtful reminder of the simple acts of reverence, respect, and courtesy that help us fully honor Christ and one another at Mass.
Longtime SMOS parishioners share how adoption, faith, and their growing involvement in the parish Respect Life Committee have deepened their commitment to defending the dignity of every human life.
Fr. John shares updates on his ministry between St. Margaret of Scotland and St. Pius V, introduces the visiting priests who will celebrate Mass this summer, and offers encouragement for faithful summer worship.
Our Mission
We are a diverse, urban, Catholic parish. Inspired by the Holy Spirit and the example of our patroness, we are called to be a vibrant voice and beacon of the Catholic faith in our neighborhoods. We proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and action by:
- Praying and celebrating as a Eucharistic community
- Educating children and adults to live a full Christian life in today’s world
- Serving others with unconditional generosity
- Living just lives and working for a more just society
Clergy Corner
Fr. John Rogers Vien has served as Pastor of St. Margaret of Scotland since 2021. He has been a priest in the Archdiocese of St. Louis for over 30 years.
Fr. John (and sometimes other guest priests) writes a weekly article in the Parish bulletin called “A New Week”, in which he highlights various things going on around the Parish, focuses attention on a social justice or ecumenical topic, and challenges all of us to become better disciples of Christ in our daily lives.
Besides presiding at Mass or around the Church and Rectory, you will most likely find Fr. John out walking the neighborhood with his dog, Axel.
