Saint Margaret's Mission

Saint Margaret takes on Challenging Mission

http://www.saintsforsinners.com/ 's dear sweet saint Margaret of Antioch http://www.saintsforsinners.com/stories/saint_margaret_medal_story.htm is packing her bags to begin several months of miracle work in California. At the most recent saint Monopoly Tournament, after 657 years, it turned out that the finalists were "saint" Clare, the patroness of television, "saint" Gabriel, the Arch Angel and saint Margaret, the fertility/safe pregnancy saint. It was a slow moving final game since Clare owned the green "Pennsylvania properties" along with the hostel-like Mediterranean and Baltic Avenue properties near "GO" and Gabe and Margaret pretty evenly split up the rest of the board except for Broadway & Park Place, which were split between Clare and Margaret and thus,not a factor.

At some point Clare was talking about the new TV shows coming out and said she was enjoying "John from Cincinnati." Margaret asked if God was on that show and Clare quickly changed the subject and began listing the recently canceled shows. When she said "The Simple Life" was ending its run, Gabriel said he was happy since "Nicole is in a family way." Margaret was quite surprised to hear Nicole Richie had gotten pregnant since there were no safe pregnancy prayers on her roster coming from the Richies. Gabriel explained that was because they were praying to a new saint for safe pregnancy, Philomena, and also to the Arch Angel Raphael, for happy news. Although Margaret was hurt and felt left out, she admitted that Nicole was in good hands with Philomena and Raphael. Until Philomena called the Monopoly Tournament asking to speak to Margaret! Moments later, Margaret started playing erratically; she traded all her properties to Clare to get Park Place and quickly built motels. But she kept landing in places where she could not afford to stay and was soon the 3rd place finisher, whereupon she announced, "I am going to California with Philomena and Raphael."

It turned out that Nicole had disregarded Philomena's instruction to lie low during the pregnancy and instead went on television with Daine Sawyer of "Good Morning America" to tell the world she and her baby's father, rocker Joel Madden, were going to be parents. This alarmed her appointed saints and they came running to the Mother of safe pregnancy help, Saint Margaret, for help. The three of them will be staying with Nicole and Joel until the baby is born and then the patrons of Moms, Gerard and Ann, will both stay with Nicole for as long as it is necessary for the family to thrive.

Saint Margaret said the baby boy would likely be named Lowell and he is tentatively scheduled to be born near the escalators at the Beverly Center on New Year's Eve Eve. She also acknowledged she heard Mr. Madden humming Paul Anka's "(You're) Having My Baby" during commercials at ABC. Mr. Anka, upon hearing the news said, "That song definitely has one more # 1 hit left in it."
