The second Gathering will be held Saturday 22nd August running from 2.00pm until 3.30pm in the Multi Purpose Room of the Primary School. At this meeting we will find out about any developments in the story of St Margaret's Church. We will need to respond to the question what is to be captured, honoured and shared regarding the history / identity / story of St Margaret's Church. Also, we need to look at how the final Mass in St Margaret's Church will be celebrated.

The recent Gathering at St. Margaret’s School brought to surface concerns that the parish land would be sold and “turned into apartments”. With this in mind, it is important that the following points are now clarified:

1. The Parish will not be selling the land on which St. Margaret’s Church now sits.

2. Future use of the land will be considered strictly within the context of the St. Margaret’s School masterplan and the Parish masterplan. A decision regarding the use of the land within these contexts has not been made and will only be made following a further period of discernment and consultation.

3. The land will continue to serve the Parish’s Mission of Faith, although the form which that takes has not been determined, and will only be determined following further consultation. In sharing the above information, the fervent hope is that there be a walking with the worshipping community of St. Margaret’s, and so, taking the next steps together.
