Msgr. Vernon E. Gardin used incense at the altar during a Mass dedicating the renovated Vincentian Children’s Chapel at St. Margaret of Scotland Parish on Feb. 16. The renovation was overseen and funded through the efforts of the St. Margaret of Scotland Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul as part of the conference’s centennial celebration.

St. Margaret of Scotland Parish continues to grow while not forgetting its roots.

During a Feb. 14 Mass, the parish celebrated 100 years of serving its neighbors through the St. Vincent de Paul Society by consecrating the Vincentian Children's Chapel.

The chapel, used for daily Mass, was renovated to include a new altar, lectern, a crucifixion triptych featuring the society's founding figures and a relic of St. Vincent de Paul.
