News & Reflections

St. Leonard Donates $10,000 for Hurricane Relief

October 18, 2024
The St. Leonard Pastoral Council recently approved a $10,000 parish donation to Catholic Charities USA for hurricane relief. Catholic Charities USA is distributing funding to local Catholic Charities agencies on the ground providing life-sustaining assistance to people impacted by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. The donation comes from a parish tithe that is a percentage of St. Leonard’s annual operating budget. The purpose of our parish tithe is to increase our outreach and live stewardship as a parish, in recognition that all we have is a gift from God and meant to be shared with others. Thanks for your generous support of St. Leonard that makes this outreach possible! To make a direct personal gift for hurricane relief or find out how people in need following the hurricanes are being assisted, visit catholiccharitiesusa.org .

Gym Roof and HVAC Project Underway, Prioritizes Sustainability

August 8, 2024
One of the four projects being funded by the Love One Another campaign at St. Leonard is the replacement of the gym roof and HVAC system. This project began July 16, 2024. Projects are being completed in the order of urgency of repairs needed. The environmental sustainability measures taken in this project demonstrates three of the areas of concentration defined by the US Green Building Council’s LEED rating system: Energy and atmosphere, indoor air quality, and materials and resources. We chose a stone ballasted roof instead of a chemically adhered roof, because we want to avoid a product that gives off a large amount of Volatile Organic Compound (gasses emitted from certain solids or liquids that can decrease air quality). The new HVAC system is a Single Zone Variable Air Volume (SZVAV) system. With an SZVAV system, the cooling capacity can closely match the capacity of the space being regulated. This matching avoids wide temperature swings, allowing adequate run time for humidity control. In comparison, the existing HVAC system provided air at a constant temperature and varied airflow, which created larger temperature swings and poor humidity control. SZVAV systems have the ability to decrease fan speed, resulting in less energy consumption compared to the existing system. We also purchased a CO2 ventilation system, which will improve indoor air quality.  We would like to thank everyone who has supported the Love One Another campaign and the Buildings and Grounds Committee. Without your commitment we wouldn’t be able to complete much needed projects around campus.

Teenager Saint Of the Eucharist

By Fr. Dan Janasik • August 8, 2024
With the church in the midst of a “Eucharistic Revival,” there are many saints who can be looked to as models of love for Jesus who is truly present in the Holy Eucharist. A new hero of mine is a modern-day teenager named Carlo Acutis. Carlo is an Italian boy who died from leukemia at the age of 15 in the year 2006. He offered his sufferings for the Church, saying “I offer all the suffering I will have to suffer for the Lord, for the Pope, and the Church.” Growing up in Italy, Carlo was a normal boy who enjoyed video games and soccer. Even though his parents were not particularly religious, Carlo developed a deep love for Jesus in the Eucharist. While in many families it is the parents who drag their teenagers to church, in the Acutis family it was the opposite! Carlo was the one who wanted to receive Communion every day and kept dragging his parents to church with him! He would make a holy hour of silent prayer before or after Mass, he went to Confession every week, and prayed the rosary daily. At school, Carlo was known for defending other kids who were picked on, especially disabled children. Carlo had a talent for website design, and he used his talents to create a website documenting Eucharistic Miracles– instances when the bread and wine at Mass visibly turned into physical heart tissue and human blood. Carlo said, "the more often we receive the Eucharist, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this earth we will have a foretaste of heaven." Carlo was declared by the church to be “venerable” in 2018 (the first step to sainthood), and then in 2020, Pope Francis beatified him in the final stage before sainthood. He is now known as Blessed Carlo Acutis. His official website is: https://carloacutis-en.org/
