Welcome to Moon Township, Pennsylvania, and Saint Margaret Mary Church. Our township is one of the oldest communities in Pennsylvania, having been chartered in 1788. This was a quiet rural area until a military airport was established here during World War II. The military airport evolved into the Pittsburgh International Airport and triggered the growth of Moon Township. As the area began to develop, it became evident that there was a need for a Catholic church in the area. Bishop John F. Dearden established Saint Margaret Mary Parish on June 8, 1956, the Feast of the Sacred Heart. At the time the parish was established, it was determined there were 337 families in the parish with 324 children receiving religious education. St. Margaret Mary Parish has since grown in size to 1,800 families with over 700 children receiving religious education.
