St. Margaret’s is comprised of many people from varied backgrounds. All of them have found a home and community within the Episcopal Church and in the village of Staatsburg.

Our staff and clergy fill our church with joy and warmth.

in memoriam


IN MEMORY OF FR. FRANK ALAGNA

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Fr. Frank Alagna, a devoted priest and tireless advocate for justice. Fr. Frank had a long and meaningful history with St. Margaret’s Church and was a pillar of the Hudson Valley community for decades. As a founding member of the Ulster Immigrant Defense Network, he worked tirelessly to support and uplift immigrants and marginalized populations. His ministry and grassroots work were inseparable—through that union, he touched countless lives and inspired generations of parishioners and neighbors alike. Fr. Frank’s compassion, dedication, and unwavering faith will be deeply missed for years to come.
