ABOUT ST. MARGARET MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH
FAITH MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD 1 PETER 1:7
On January 12, 1972, Pope Paul VI established the Diocese of Charlotte. Together with Bishop Jugis, all parishes are invited to acknowledge this 50th Anniversary Year by recalling the past with gratitude, celebrating the present with joy, and looking to the future with hope that we might glorify God and strengthen our diocesan family.
Please join Bishop Jugis in offering up prayers and sacrifices for these special intentions each month during the 50th anniversary year:
MARCH: For families. May God pour out an abundance of grace to every family in the diocese, that they may be domestic churches and dwellings of loving sacrifice. Amen.
MARZO: Para familias. Que Dios derrame abundancia de gracia sobre cada familia de la diócesis, para que sean iglesias domésticas y moradas de amoroso sacrificio. Amén.
For additional information on the 50th Anniversary of the Diocese, visit the Diocese of Charlotte Anniversary Homepage.
