For children up to 3 years of age, nursery service is available in the Preschool building (next to the church) during the 9:00 and 10:30 am Masses and at Saint Mary Magdalen during the 9:30 and 11:00 am Masses. Trained staff will care for your children while you attend Mass. This is a free service.

Members of the Little Rock Scrip-ture Study group, a.k.a. “The Gut-ter Gang,” and Catholic Men’s Fel-lowship, a.k.a. “The Alley Cats,” bowled on Saturday, April 21 at Forest Hill Lanes and raised over $1000 of the total $5000 which benefited the Welcome One Shel-ter, the local Harford County homeless shelter.

Lisa Forsythe of the “The Gutter Gang” took home two trophies, one for the highest score and one for the most strikes. Word has it a member of the “The Alley Cats” re-ceived the ‘turkey award’ for the lowest score. Both teams look forward to next year’s event and this fun rivalry.

Best Wishes and God’s BlessingsThis weekend we say “best wishes and God’s blessings” to Ken Kirkman, Eric Dinga, and Brian Lewis who have been with us at Saint Margaret on most of the weekends since Sep-tember 2011. They have found Saint Margaret to be a warm, energetic community that places a priority on prayerful liturgy and reaching out generously to answer the spiritual and physical needs of the young and the old. Being part of Sunday gatherings for The Rite for Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) has helped make

Eric and Ken familiar faces at the 9:00 am Mass, and in the Adult Eduction Center follow-ing that Mass. Brian shared his talents with the Sunday and Wednesday Faith Formation program for our parish. In the fall, he created and implemented a lesson on the sacra-ment of Reconciliation. During Lent, he worked with our third graders on the Stations of the Cross and was critical in planning and writing our Children’s Mass Booklet that is made available during Mass. Brian led the “Taste and See” session on the First Commu-nion Retreat, spoke about vocations and was a valuable substitute at all grade levels throughout the year. Our parish was fortunate to have Brian, Ken and Eric as a mem-bers of the Faith Formation team this year.

SAINT MARGARETP A R I S H

From Father Mike Dear Friends,

This weekend I am pleased to share some good news with you: we have decided to proceed with the major re-pair and renovation of the hall/gym

that is part of the elementary edu-cation building. You recall, I am sure, that the needs of this building and of the church have been the core of our part of the capital campaign. I want to give you the background of the above decision.• In December, Archdiocesan of-

ficials met with members of our Finance Committee, our Busi-ness Manager and me and opened up a good possibility for financ-ing. They recommended that we seek financing proposals from vari-ous banks that would help us move more rapidly with our major projects. Members of our Finance Commit-tee and our Business Manager have been working at this, and we expect the outcome will soon be an opportu-nity to borrow at a good, competitive rate of interest and a helpful term of years. These terms will be better than the Archdiocese itself could secure for us. We are very grateful for their proactive assistance with this.

• Income is starting to flow from the capital campaign. In addition to that, I have shared before that we have some capital savings that our Finance Committee prudently devel-oped over recent years in anticipation of addressing the major needs of our buildings. Using some of this reserve will limit the amount we will finance on this hall/gym project to no more than 50% of the cost. The total es-timated project cost is just under $1 million, as stated throughout the capi-tal campaign.

• The Archdiocese advises that it is to our advantage to go to bids as

soon as possible because of a fa-vorable construction market. This means that it is likely that bids will come in lower today than they will a year from now.

• We have received bids from four general contractors and are now very close to accepting the pro-posal from the low bidder. All of these bids are under the budgeted amount of $1 million.

• We plan to close the hall/gym in the first week of June. Most of the work will be done during the three summer months with full completion by late fall. We have worked carefully with all parties who utilize and de-pend on the availability of this build-ing to minimize inconvenience and interruption of programs.

• One advantage of doing the hall project first is that this will then be a much more comfortable setting for Mass when we undertake the church project (major repair, ren-ovation, and liturgical enhance-ment). We expect that we will need to vacate the church for a period of time. We are not yet sure how long that will be. At any rate, we will have air conditioning, a good sound sys-tem, and more appealing space for Mass in the hall when we will need to be out of the church.

Our Finance and Facilities Committees have thought through all of this very carefully. They are unanimous in sup-porting this direction. I am indebted and grateful to these parishioners for their time and expertise. The recommendations of these two committees went to our Pasto-ral Council which unanimously approved. I feel very well advised in giving the green light to moving on this first project. I again want to say how grateful I am to all of you who have contributed to the capi-tal campaign which is making this possible. Your gifts are and will be crucial. As we proceed, I will keep you updated on the progress of all of this. Father Mike

Volunteer Opportunity!

Prison Ministers Needed

Saint Margaret Parish has responsibility for the prison ministry for the Catholic inmates at the Harford Detention Center here in Bel Air. Each week Communion services are held on Sunday nights from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. Services are offered for the male and female inmates separately. There are 4-5 services each Sunday and approximately 20 - 35 in-mates attend each week. With enough vol-unteers, we could reduce the service time to an hour and a half rather than a three-hour commitment as well as being on call to ser-vice once every five or six weeks.

We presently only have three ministers who preside at the Communion services and we are in need of additional ministers. We would like to have at least 10 ministers in-volved in this ministry so we can continue our weekly coverage for the inmates.

The service is composed of the readings for the particular Sunday, short reflection, prayer of the faithful and distribution of the Eucharist to the inmates. The services are very inspiring and many times you leave the Detention Center in awe of having wit-nessed God’s work inside prison walls.

If you feel the Lord calling you at this time to this ministry, please call Jane O’Hara or Deacon Jim De Capite at the parish office, 410-879-2670.

Ministry of Consolation “Life After Loss”Our next gathering will take place at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, May 8 in the Adult Education Center Library.

Marriage Moments “Let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” 1 Jn 3:18Saying “I love you” is good. Being true to your words is better. Showing your love by doing something nice

or sacrificing for your beloved is true love. What act of love can you do today? © Susan Vogt

Liturgy CornerApril showers bring May flowers…While this saying is true, far more is involved in having beautiful flowers in our church. This Easter, the Liturgy Re-source committee has been overwhelmed with compliments on the beauty of the decorations coordinated by Lisa Brown at the Callahan Center, Lisa Baldino at Saint Margaret Church and Rich Rome for our Easter Masses in the school hall. It is a tremendous amount of work, but the Church in Her wisdom directs par-ishes to use flowers and other fresh dec-orations to remind us of God’s beauty in creation. If you would like to assist in this wonderful ministry please con-tact Cecilia Pleiss as cpleiss@smsch.org. We need help to arrange flowers, water plants and assist in the setup and design. All are welcome!

Keeping The Faith Miss, Would You Take My Order?Benedictines, Dominicans, Jesuits, Carmelites, Franciscans, Carthusians - whew! They’re all Catholics orders, but all have different flavors. What makes one order different from anoth-er? Why do Catholics have so many orders in the first place? And if you ordered a slice of Jesuit with a Trappist sauce, would you be al-lowed to talk about how delicious it was?

Join us Thursday, May 17 at 7:00 p.m. at the Adult Education Center for our last meeting of Keeping the Faith for the year. We’ll dis-cuss different Catholic orders and where they came from, with an emphasis on spirituality and difference in day-to-day practices. Find out what makes each order unique, yet united in serving God.

This will be the final Keeping the Faith meet-ing until next September, so if you’ve never joined us before, make sure you visit us on the 17th. As always, we dig deep into Catho-lic topics that you may have missed to help you understand and be able to explain them. Contact Marie Dekowski at 410-879-2670, ext. 126 or e-mail her at mdekowski@stmar-garet.org.
