St. Leo the Great Parish Organizations
For over 50 years, St. Leo the Great Parish has been meeting the spiritual and educational needs of the Amherst, Tonawanda and Williamsville areas. As we grow in our faith, our parishioners have had plenty of fun and excitement; meeting new friends and participating in many activities. Our mission is to provide opportunities to grow and share our faith through ministries and most importantly through regular attendance and participation at Mass.
Look around! There is so much happening in our parish! Did you know that you can participate in over 40 ministries, committees or groups? But please do more than look …. Please join us in growing in our faith and as a parish family.
This is an INVITATION TO ALL to become more involved by sharing your blessings of time, talent and treasure to help our parish family be even more vibrant and faith filled. ALL ARE WELCOME!
