Mask Requirements Reinstated

As Covid infections continue to rise and with a greater understanding of how easily the Delta variant spreads, effective immediately the mask requirement for all people at Mass, all liturgies, and all other meetings that take place on parish grounds are reinstated. Furthermore, congregational singing should be greatly reduced or eliminated until further notice. All people eligible for vaccination should also seek it as soon as possible.

Dear Parishioners, 

As we continue this season of Easter and as we approach the church celebrating Pentecost on May 23, which is also the anniversary of the dedication of our new school in 2010, we can reflect on the question of how can we grow more deeply in our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Our parish will be watching a series presented by Fr. Dave Pivonka called the Wild Goose. The Wild Goose series is truly a work of the Holy Spirit. “Wild Goose” was a term that the ancient Celts had for the Holy Spirit. It is a 14 part series featuring Fr. Dave Pivonka and various interviews. Shot in various locations from Niagara Falls to the California desert, The Wild Goose invites viewers to an encounter, or a renewed encounter, with the Holy Spirit. The entire series is available for free on WILDGOOSE.TV. It can also be watched on the FORMED platform using the parish membership of St. Leo Catholic Church.

We will have a couple of times to talk about each session on Wednesday evening in person and by zoom in the Media Center at 7:30 pm and also in between Masses on Sunday from 9:45 am to 10:45 am. Tonight we will talk about this first video “God’s Love Poured Out.” 

Here is a link for the zoom session tonight: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87303981942?pwd=ZVdkZFlKQVBadUhFbTJ3UDRBeHc4QT09. Please note we will not watch the videos during the sessions but will be reflecting upon the content and sharing that with each other. 

Here is the link to the video on FORMED: God's Love Poured Out on FORMED http://watch.formed.org/videos/god-s-love-poured-out

Here is the study guide for each of the sessions.

This is a wonderful time during the Easter season and as we approach Pentecost to watch these videos with our families and reflect upon the deeper questions of our faith in a thoughtful way over these coming weeks. 

V. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
R. And kindle in them the fire of your love
V.  Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created
R. And you will renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.

Lord,
by the light of the Holy Spirit,
you have taught the hearts of your faithful.
In the same Spirit
help us to relish what is right
and always rejoice in your consolation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.

In Christ,
Fr. Chris
