Grace and peace to you from Our Lord Jesus Christ! 
We were blessed with a big surprise on December 31st. Thanks to your generosity and love of St. Leo's, we ended 2025 with the first phase of our capital campaign fully-funded! 

As of the most recent count, your generosity has raised over $450K for much-needed improvements here, surging well beyond the goal we had set of $270K for Phase One. This
ensures that we will hit the ground running next fall as we move forward into the final phase of our campaign!

Within the next few weeks, you'll see things starting to happen. Scaffolding has already been set up in the chapel, and ceiling work there has begun. Very shortly, you'll see framing of both the new restroom in the baptistry as well as some construction on the confessional at the front of the Church. 

We will be submitting bids to the diocesan finance council for the ADA-accessible ramp and painting of the Chapel, with the plan that construction will begin in Spring and the painting of the Chapel even sooner. I am truly humbled by your generosity.

It is abundantly clear that you love your Church, that you want it preserved for your grandchildren and their children, and that you can come together to make amazing things happen. 

It is a blessing to serve as your parish priest.  May the Lord continue to abundantly bless this community of faith. 

In Christ,
Fr. Matt
