As baptized followers of Jesus Christ, we share the rich tradition of the Roman Catholic Church by gathering together to celebrate the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist.

We strive to emulate Jesus Christ by serving our brothers and sisters through our commitment to education, hospitality and social outreach.

FAITH IN OUR FUTURE CAMPAIGN

The Faith in our Future Campaign is a $105 million campaign effort uniting all 211 parishes of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee to strengthen parishes now and in the future in the areas of Catholic Education and Faith Formation.

40% of the money that St. Leonard parish raises will go back to the Archdiocese to continue good Catholic education efforts: to support academic programs, marketing, techer development and technology improvements in Catholic Schools.  Funds will also go to support St. Francis Seminary (priest formation) and the John Paul II Center (deacon and lay minister formation).

The other 60% of the money will go to St. Leonard parish. Our "benchmark" - that is the amount the Archdiocese asked us to raise - is $937,916.  We were able to raise pledges equal to 75% of that benchmark.  No doubt, the struggling economy and increase in unemployment hindered our efforts.  We are grateful for all who participated in spite of this economy.
