St. Marguerite Celebrates New Family Life Center

commemorated the opening of its Family Life Center on Sunday, May 29, with Mass, celebrated by the Most Reverend William E. Lori, Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport, followed by dedication and a reception in the church hall. Three hundred parishioners and their families attended the event.

The project has been planned for the past several years and was made possible by the success of a capital campaign and bequests from parishioners and friends of St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Church.

Kevin McQueen was the architect of the project and Verdi Construction provided general contractor services. The project added nine classrooms with adequate storage, offices, updated and expanded bathrooms, a new HVAC system and re-roofing of the entire Church.

“The 7,500 square feet of additional space will provide the space to meet the needs of our parish now and in the future; especially for religious education for our youth as well as for adults, for parish ministries and social events,” Project Committee Chairman Greg Dembowski said.

Saint Marguerite parish is characterized by tradition and commitment. The Family Life Center will not only convey the spirit of hospitality, but a sense of community.  Anyone interested in learning more about the Parish Family Life Center and St. Marguerite Church can call Linda Rascona at 203-775-5117 or visit the Church’s website.
