In the Community:

Gracious God,

On this Memorial Day, we pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the examples of their sacrifice inspire in us the selfless love of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and their lives with Your strength and peace. In union with people of goodwill of every nation, embolden us to answer the call to work for peace and justice, and thus, seek an end to violence and conflict around the globe. We ask this through your name.

Amen.

Adoration

We are truly blessed to have the opportunity for Eucharistic Adoration at St. Margaret’s every Wednesday, a sacred time to step away from the busyness of life and spend quiet, prayerful time with Our Lord.

Each Wednesday, the church is open for Adoration from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and everyone is warmly invited to participate. Even one hour in His presence can bring peace, clarity, and grace to your week.

If you are able to commit to an hour, we kindly ask you to sign up using the link below. Our goal is to have at least four adorers each hour, ensuring that Jesus is never left alone.

Signing up for the same hour each week is especially helpful and allows us to provide consistent coverage throughout the day.

Your commitment, whether weekly or occasional, makes a meaningful difference for our parish community.

To learn more about Eucharistic Adoration and to reserve an hour, please use the link below.

Holy Spirit Summer Lunch Program

Summer is approaching, and for many children in our community—over 25% in the southwest LS area, Raymore, and Peculiar—it means the end of reliable school meals and the start of summer hunger. The Summer Lunch Program provides vital nourishment, but our need for support has never been greater. Please answer the call: soaring food costs means every dollar makes a difference, and every volunteer hour ensures a child receives a meal.

We could also use donation supplies. When you are at the grocery store, please pick up some sandwich, snack, or gallon size Ziploc or re-closable bags, boxes of individual chips, boxes of individual cookies, and/or  Kool-Aid Jammers. These can be dropped off in the parish office. Thank you for your support!

Retrouvaille - Kansas City

Restore Your Marriage and Rebuild a Loving Relationship

Retrouvaille is different than other marriage programs. Some spouses resist the idea of attending the program, out of concern that they will be required to expose their personal lives and their marital problems. None of this is true. In fact, the program is entirely unique, and most couples find that this is the very thing that worked when all else failed.
