St. Margaret of Scotland Church

What St. Margaret of Scotland Church does

St. Margaret of Scotland Church is a Catholic parish church located at 777 NE Blackwell Rd in Lee's Summit, Missouri, operating as a non-profit religious organization under the governance of the Diocese of Kansas City–St. Joseph. The parish delivers the seven Catholic sacraments (Baptism, Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders/OCIA), weekly and daily Mass services, Eucharistic Adoration, religious education for children and adults, pastoral care, and community outreach ministries, serving parishioner households in Lee's Summit and surrounding communities.

The parish is staffed by approximately 21 clergy, deacons, and administrative personnel led by Pastor Fr. Adam Haake, with functional roles spanning liturgy, religious education, communications, music, pastoral care, bookkeeping, and reception. Its technology footprint is modest and operationally focused: a Wix-hosted public website and the ShelbyNext church management system for online registration and forms, supplemented by social media channels (Instagram, Facebook), a weekly email newsletter, and a referral partnership with the Hallow Catholic prayer app.

The business and revenue model is donation-based, not commercial. Operating funding derives from voluntary parishioner tithes and offerings collected during services and through the online giving platform, supplemented by proceeds from the "Worthy is the Lamb" Church Furnishings capital campaign (2025-2026). The parish charges no fees for sacramental services and does not publicly disclose financial information. Growth is community-led, driven by word-of-mouth, weekend Mass attendance, sacramental preparation programs, ministry involvement, and parish events, with new members welcomed via online or in-person registration.

• Catholic Charities of Kansas City-St. Joseph: Diocesan charitable and social services agency that partners with St. Margaret of Scotland on the Christmas Giving Tree program; adjacent faith-based nonprofit rather than a direct parish competitor.

Emerging players
