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 on June 29, we are focusing on PETER’S PENCE for our additional donation request. If you’d like to donate to support the work of Pope Leo XIV, please click the link below and select “Peter’s Pence” 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., SVdP, 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.

- 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.
