St. Leo Fair August 27 thru

August 31

Please remember to save time during the two weeks before the Fair starts. There is always a great need for help with the set-up.

Also, save the day after the Fair for taking everything down.

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Please remember St. Leo Legacy Fund when doing your

estate planning. This parish endowment will assure the

excellence of our parish ministries and charitable projects,

for future generations.

SUMMER VACATION During the Summer months, many of our parishioners are away on Vacation. We are grateful to those parishioners who make up their envelopes for absent weekends, when they return. Our collections fall off by 20% during the summer months. Our bills do not go away, even if you do.

Perhaps you will consider using our credit card program for your weekly and/or monthly donations. This has been a great help to our parish. You can find the credit card application forms in the vestibule. Thank you for your generosity and consideration.

In Your Prayers

Become a member of the prayer chain. Your email address will be added, then once you receive

a prayer request, all you have to do is pray.

Send prayer requests to: annhogan@optonline.net

ST. LEO SENIORS

The St. Leo Seniors will not meet during the months of JULY and AUGUST.

We will begin again, on Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 17 with a welcoming mass at 10 AM and a meeting afterwards at 11 AM.

Protecting God’s Children

The diocese requires that all volunteers in any capacity in the parish must attend a Protecting God’s Children workshop. If you have not already attended one of these workshops and volunteer or anticipate volunteering in the future, the following are some dates and places that will be available.

Mon. 7/29 - St. Clement of Rome 535 Fairfield Avenue, Stamford - 6 PM

Tues. 8/6 - Greenwich Catholic School 471 North Street, Greenwich - 10AM

Weds. 8/7 - New Covenant Center 174 Richmond Hill Ave. Stamford - 6 PM

To register for one of these classes (or to find another one near by at a different time go to:

www.virtusonline.org.

When registering, choose Bridgeport Diocese as the organization. If you have any problems, you can call the Virtus hotline 888-847-8870.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ATTENDED A LIVE SESSION, and it has been more than 5 years since then, you are required to have a re-certification and background check. The good news is that this can be done online and will only take 1 hour.

If you have any questions, including obtaining your user name and password, you can email Eileen Towne at etstleo@yahoo.com or call 203-348-0052.

Parish Fair Booth Sponsors

Every year we encourage our parishioners to be a

Booth Sponsor. This helps to ensure the success

of our Fair, in case of inclement weather. A few

years ago this theory was put to the test! Those

who supported our Parish by being a Booth

Sponsor that year, kept a bad situation from

becoming worse. Please consider becoming a

Booth Sponsor this year. You can find additional

application forms on the table, in the vestibule.

If you decide to become a sponsor, we would be

very grateful for your generous and speedy

response.

Any questions? Call Betty (203-322-1669, ext.1).
