Beware of Scams

On Tuesday, Mar. 31, 2026, staff and other members of our faith community received a fraudulent email that appeared to be from Fr. Pat claiming to be an invitation to "celebrate a special milestone."

On Wednesday, Apr. 1, 2026, staff and members of our faith community received a fraudulent email that appeared to be from St. Leonard staff members asking you to review and sign an e-document.

Although these emails appear to come from real St. Leonard email addresses, they are NOT legitimate. Do NOT click on any links or reply to the emails.

If you received one of these emails, we ask you to reset your email password as an extra precaution and to help stop the spread of these messages.

Other common scam email wording uses verbiage including but not limited to the following examples:

• "I have a discreet request for you..."
• "I am in a prayer session right now and can't take calls, just email me back..."
• "I would like to do something nice for the staff..."

As a reminder, Fr. Pat will never call, email or text asking for money, gift cards or personal identifiable information.

Continue to use caution when receiving emails like these. Please feel free to call the Parish Office to verify if a message you have received is legitimate.
