St. Leonard Catholic Faith Community is a freely formed Catholic community sharing in the Franciscan heritage. We are committed to creating a spiritual environment that opens us up to the life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit.
Through various ministries, we reach out and respond to the needs of others with love. Our mission will be to live our Christian faith, to grow spiritually, and to be actively involved in our neighboring communities and the St. Leonard Catholic Faith Community.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become Catholic?
Most Catholics do a fair amount of introspection and prayer before making the decision to join the Church. Once a person has decided they wish to be Catholic, they should join an Adult Faith Formation class, also known as Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). RCIA classes are held at the parish, and you will begin to learn what it means to be Catholic. This lasts several months, culminating with the person being brought into full communion with the Catholic Church.
Are there any other Mass times than the 10:30 AM Mass?
There is a 4 PM Vigil Mass on Saturday, and a 9 AM Mass on Sunday for the residents the retirement community. Anyone is welcome to attend those Masses, however, it does not include the gathering around the altar and some of the other traditions people may observe from our Faith Community Mass.
Who should I call for other Sacraments?
