Note about St. Leonard’s Church & Fundraising Campaign:
Through the generosity of a great benefactor, Saint Leonard Parish has received a pledge to match any donations made to the parish restoration fund up to $1 million dollars. This unique “Matching Donation” Program will last until December 25, 2018. $355,000.00 has already been matched, but there is a vast expense to the maintenance of the two church buildings. Sacred Heart Church is in need of urgent repairs to the façade, as well as a great deal of interior restoration. There have also been many requests regarding the repair and restoration of the organ, choir loft, and original bells at Saint Leonard Church. The success of this program would allow to begin this additional work. St. Leonard’s Church community appeals to those who have not yet been able to extend their contribution and to their cherished visitors, to help reach the additional $645,000.00. Opportunities, such as bricks to be placed in the Peace Garden, stained glass windows, and Stations of the Cross for memorialization of your family and loved ones. Please contact the Parish Office for more details (617)523-2110 and admin@saintleonardchurchboston.org.
