Receive Holy Communion in the safety of your car:
Beginning Sunday, June 28th, all are welcome to come and park in the St. Margaret of Scotland Parking lot for the 11:00 a.m. Mass. Mass will be held inside the church, but, if you prefer to remain in your car and listen on your phone via teleconference, Fr. Donald will come out to the parking lot to distribute communion to you. Please park in the spots between the church and the school and give a wave out your driver window when you see Fr. Donald so he will know to come to your car.
Please be mindful that the dispensation from public Mass still holds in the Archdiocese. You are not required to come to church. If you are immune-compromised or in a higher-risk category or if you are not feeling well in any way, we encourage you to stay home and be safe. Father Donald, or one of our parish priests, will continue to celebrate Mass via teleconferencing at 11:00 a.m. every Sunday, Please call 1-708-381-1120 to join.
