+For the Parish

Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your Holy Church; though Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


Outdoor Labyrinth- Open 24 Hours

There is an outdoor Labyrinth located in our churchyard, off the parking lot. Everyone is invite to walk it. A labyrinth is not like a maze. Mazes are designed to trick and fool you and keep you feeling lost. If you faithfully follow the well marked path of a labyrinth, it will led you to the center and back out again. For years, labyrinths have been spiritual tools used to simulate the journey we undertake as disciples and followers.

ST MARGARET'S CHAPEL GUILD

St Margaret's Chapel Guild was founded in 1942. The inspiration came from the Very Reverend Dr Ronald Selby Wright, CVO, TD, Minister of Canongate, who was known as the Radio Padre during the Second World War. As the parish Minister of Edinburgh Castle, he wrote a letter which was printed in The Evening News inviting women named Margaret to put flowers in St Margaret's Chapel which lies at the heart of the Castle. The enthusiastic response led him to found the Guild, under the patronage of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret, who took a keen interest in the life of the Guild until her death in 2002. Dr Wright, as Minister of the Castle, became the Guild's first President, and was succeeded on his retirement by his successor in the Parish, The Reverend Charles Robertson, in 1978.

For the past sixty years, members of the Guild, all named Margaret, have continued to make sure that there are always fresh flowers in the Chapel.






That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus.

Jesus himself drew near.

- Luke 24:13-35.   more...
