Saint Leonard of Port Maurice Parish will commemorate the 50th anniversary of death of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, O.F.M. Cap. This year also memorializes the 100th anniversary of Saint Pio’s reception of the spiritual gift of the stigmata. For this most solemn occasion, Father Riccardo from San Giovanni Rotondo, Foggia, Italy will come to Saint Leonard Church with a holy relic of Saint Pio.

It is my pleasure to inform you that our friends, Mr. & Mrs. Ferreri, in their generosity, have extended their matching donation initiative until December 25, 2018. It is their hope, and ours, that this five month extension will encourage those who have not had the opportunity to contribute to join our efforts in reaching the $1 million goal.

I am delighted to say this week’s feast in Honor of Saint Anthony of Padua was a tremendous success. I would like to acknowledge first and foremost Michael Bonetti who has tirelessly invested so much of himself in planning and executing these celebrations. I also wish to acknowledge the Saint Anthony Society for donating Saint Anthony’s bread, as well as Representative Aaron Michewitz and Joe Giangregorio of Hanover Liquors for sponsoring the feast with their generous monetary donations.  A heartfelt thank you to the ladies who spent several hours over the past few days distributing the blessed Saint Anthony Oil and Bread.  

Beginning on Friday, April 13, 2018, please join us every Friday after the 12:05pm Mass for Eucharistic Adoration followed by the public devotion to the Divine Mercy at 3pm at St. Leonard Church
