TOMB OF OUR LORD A few strong men are needed on Friday, April 3 after the 6pm Mass and Stations of the Cross to prepare the Sacred Heart chapel for Holy Week.

Do you know someone who is hiring? Are you an employer with job opportunities? Because many people have lost their jobs recently in our declining economy, a number of parishes are trying to help parishioners who may be having difficulty finding employment in this tight job market. St. Margaret Mary parish would like to use its resources to help unemployed parishioners find another job. The parish will not function as an employment agency but as an informal network to help our unemployed parishioners in their job hunt. We ask parishioners who know of any employment opportunities, great or small, full or part-time, permanent or temporary, to send that information to our parish office to be passed on to our parishioners who are looking for work. Please notify the parish office by email at stmargaretm@yahoo.com or Lynn Suer, jobs coordinator, at lynnsuer@aol.com if you know of any available jobs or if you are in need of a job. You may also phone the parish office at 510 482-0596 or send a letter to St. Margaret Mary Church, 1219 Excelsior Ave., Oakland, CA 94610.
