An all-school mass was celebrated with Father Daniel Mallette on Tuesday, December 20th at 8:30am. Following Mass Father Mallette will pass out toys to the pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade students in the church. St. Margaret’s church is located at 9837 S. Throop Street in Chicago.
“Because Father has been recovering the last couple weeks and has not had time to go out and do his annual shopping, we thought we could help him just as he has helped so many in the community,” said Sheriff Tom Dart, “Tuesdays Christmas celebration includes Father doing what he does best, going mass and giving back to the community, and I could not think of a better medicine for his recovery.”
