St. Margaret Queen of Scotland Catholic Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church serving eastern Livingston Parish, Louisiana. It is particularly noted for its historic parish church located at 30300 Catholic Hall Road in Hammond, Louisiana. Consecrated in 1912, it represented, along with the Hungarian Presbyterian Church, the center of community activities in Albany, Louisiana.[2][3]
