For more than sixty years, St. Margaret School has been devoted to developing a deep love of God in all our students. We believe in setting a solid foundation of faith and morals to instill life-long values.  We do this daily by weaving our faith into all subjects taught. In addition, students participate in daily prayer, Mass twice a week, and adoration. Our teachers serve as role models of the faith and values we work to instill in our students.

St. Margaret School prepares students for the sacraments in conjunction with the parish. 

Baptism
Baptism is the sacrament that enters us into the life of Christ and the gateway to the sacramental life of the Church.  Therefore, Baptism is a requirement for participation in any other sacrament.  Baptism may be received at any age. Families with non-baptized children in Catholic schools who desire baptism for their non-infant children should contact their parish.

First Penance and First Holy Communion

Preparation for the reception of First Holy Communion typically begins in first grade, with reception occurring in the spring of the second-grade year.  Students will also be prepared to receive First Penance at this time. Families with Baptized children older than second grade who have not yet received First Holy Communion should contact their parish.

As faith is a major cornerstone of Catholic education and at the center of all we do within our schools, our faith formation is taken very seriously. Every child in our Catholic schools experiences the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program. It is a Christ-centered, liturgically based program designed to aid religious formation for children. Each school has a designated Atrium space. It is a peaceful place for prayer, meditation, and contemplation. Within the Atrium are materials that aid each
child in further developing their relationship with God and His church.
