“...Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always until the end of the age” (Matt 28:19-20).

 

The St. Leo parish staff is actively planning to bring back PSR classes, in person, beginning this fall! In order for this to be possible, St. Leo is searching for highly

motivated, faith-filled Catechists who enjoy working with children and teaching the

fullness of the Catholic Faith! Please prayerfully consider becoming a PSR catechist/classroom volunteer.

The fulfilling role of teaching the faith helps our children connect with their parish family and faith community.

Please contact Debbie D’Angelo by email: debbie@stleoky.org

if you would like to volunteer.

St. Leo is partnering with Life House Care Center between now and Father’s Day weekend to raise funds and awareness for troubled pregnancies. Please consider making a separate donation by marking “Life House” on the memo line of your check or putting the donation in a separate envelope labeled “Life House” and placing in the collection basket. This will be in lieu of collecting baby bottles this year. Thank you so much for your continued support of Life House and the tremendous service they provide to our community! We are called to protect the most vulnerable of our society and if we can not protect life at the most vulnerable stage in the womb, we have no hope of protecting life at any stage.

Please remember the staff and clients of Life House in your prayers as together they listen to the voice of God in making life changing decisions.
