Rectors & Priest
Under Construction
This section is dedicated to all of the men and women of the "cloth". It takes a special person to become a priest, cannon or deacon. A church, temple or masque would be no more than an interesting building without the guidance and love that these special people bring to the congregations. The parishioners of St. Margaret's have been very fortunate to have some of the best. We have only had five rectors in our 45 year history (2008). By the grace of God we are now looking for our sixth rector to succeed The Rev. Dr. Robert G. Certain who retired in January 2007
