Located in Lake Charles, St. Margaret is near the heart of the diocese. Since 1945, we have helped our people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Pastor:
Very Reverend Nathan Long
St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church began as a small mission of what is now the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Lake Charles. The Most Reverend Jules Jeanmard, Bishop of Lafayette, established the parish in 1945 with a boundary that covered most of southern Lake Charles. In 1949, the Sisters Mariantes of the Holy Cross arrived as teachers and established St. Margaret School.
Currently ministering to 1600 families, St. Margaret of Scotland Parish is one of the largest parishes in the Diocese of Lake Charles. Along with the staff of St. Margaret Catholic School, our parish consists of many dedicated volunteers who offer their time, talent, and treasure to form our vibrant community of faith.

In the Catholic tradition, the school strives to help its students achieve spiritual growth and academic excellence.
