St. Margaret of Scotland Parish
Events
June 2009-June 2010
Pope Benedict XVI has declared June 2009 to June 2010 as the Year for Priests.
The theme for the priestly year is "Faithfulness of Christ, Faithfulness of
Priest." Its purpose is to encourage what the Pope calls "the yearning
for spiritual perfection" in priests. But the Year for Priests also gives lay
people a special opportunity to learn more about priesthood, to recognize and honor priests,
and to encourage priestly vocations.
The Year for Priests coincides with the 150th anniversary of the death of St. John Vianney,
a 19th century parish priest who transformed the lives of villagers in France through his
example of holiness, his celebration of the Mass, his teachings, and his ability to touch
people's souls in the Sacrament of Penance.

- Campaign for Human Development
- March 6/7 there will be a second collection for the Campaign for Human Development.
For nearly 40 years this Campaign has embodied Catholic social teaching through pursuing justice and
upholding dignity of the human person. CCHD makes a difference in low-income communities
by funding programs that address the root causes of poverty. It is hard to imagine having to
choose between rent, food, clothing, health care, household bills, etc. These are choices
people are forced to make due to recent layoffs, pay freezes, or retirement fund decrease.
For more than 37 million Americans who live below the poverty line, the options are
only diminishing. More than ever CCHD needs you support in this Collection.
