Promotional Policies
Who may promote in our publications?
We limit what we promote to items coordinated by St. Leonard Catholic Church and School and its committees. When space is available, we may promote items hosted by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. We cannot promote personal items, events coordinated by other parishes and schools, community events or outside companies.
