St. Margaret's Ministry is pleased to announce that we are starting a new Family Faith Formation program for children with intellectual disabilities. The program will start this fall. Our goal is to prepare these children to receive the Sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation at the appropriate age level. Since this is the first year for this program, we are limiting it to ages 6-10. For further information, please contact Beth Zavala: [email protected] or 515-991-4381.

St. Margaret's Ministry and Sacred Heart Catholic was excited to host a Night to Shine event on Friday, February 9th sponsored by a grant from the Tim Tebow Foundation. It was a wonderful night that started with a special blessing from Father Chris, a walk down the red carpet, a delicious dinner, and then dancing the night away! Thank you to all of the guests and volunteers!
