Scripture readings for the coming Sunday will be discussed. As part of the second phase of our Evangelization effort, we are reaching out to the young people of our own community to bring them closer to Christ. A new youth program has begun. It is designed to help our young people express themselves and share in a number of activities, both social and religious. This year the pilgrimage is to the LaSallette Shrine in Twin Lakes Wisconsin on Sunday, July 22.
Registration takes place during the summer months.
On Sunday, August 5, St. Leo the Great will welcome Cardinal Edward Egan, the Archbishop of New York. Cardinal Egan was administrator of St. Leo in 1970 and will be visiting Chicago that weekend. As St. Leo the Great works to meet the financial challenges to sustain its mission, we recognize that as much as we can do on a human level to meet these challenges, we can do much more with the help of God. We invite all the members of our parish as well as our friends, supporters and all who are concerned with the survival and growth of the Church in the inner city to attend. The members of St. Leo the Great are invited to join in this celebration.
