Presentation of Christ in the Temple / Andrea Mantegna / 1465 – 1466
BAPTISM OF INFANTS Baptisms of children under 7 years old are offered every fourth Sunday of each month in Spanish and every second Sunday of the month in English. Please visit our website or contact our office for details and requirements. CONFIRMATION At confirmation we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and confirm and renew our baptismal promises committing to a life of maturity in the Christian faith. Uncon-firmed Catholics wishing to receive the Sacrament should contact the Parish Office to make arrangements for suitable instruction. Unbaptized or non-Catholics can be confirmed at the Easter Vigil when they are baptized or received into the Church as a part of Rite of Christian Initiation of Adult. To enroll in RCIA, please call Griselda Cisneros at 992-0901. EUCHARIST Parishioners who wish to bring communion to their spouses should contact the parish office to pick up a pyx with the St. Leo’s inscription on it. Please use this pyx when approaching to receive a host for your spouse or a family member in the Communion procession during Mass. If you need to receive a gluten free host due to a medical condition please arrive 15 minutes before Mass begins and inform the Sacristan. RECONCILIATION Individual confession with a priest is the principal means of absolution and recon-ciliation of grave sins within the Church. The Sacrament of Reconciliation frees us from sinful patterns of behavior and calls us to complete conversion to Christ. Con-fessions are heard at 2:00 pm on Saturday in English and 6:15pm on Sunday in Spanish. You may also approach any of our parish priests to hear your confession at another suitable time. THE RITE OF ANOINTING A person does not need to wait until the point of death to receive this sacrament. A careful judgment about the serious nature of the illness is sufficient. The Sacrament may be repeated if the sick person recovers after the anointing but becomes ill once again, or if, during the same illness, the person's condition becomes more serious. For those who are about to depart from this life, the Church offers the person Pen-ance, Anointing of the Sick, and the Eucharist as Viaticum (food for the journey) given at the end of life. Contact the Parish Office at 992-0901 to be connected with the priest on duty. SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE If you are a registered parishioner of St. Leo and plan to marry in our parish please contact our office at least six months prior to the tentative wedding date. Weddings cannot be scheduled until the marriage preparation process is complete and it is determined that the parties are free to marry. ANNULMENT - Reestablishing the freedom to marry. An annulment is more accurately described as a declaration of matrimonial invalid-ity. It is an official determination made by an ecclesiastical court that at the time of the marital consent exchanged by the parties a specific component of the marriage was lacking or defective. Hence, the marriage failed to be a marriage as defined by the Catholic Church. If you wish to reestablish your freedom to marry in the Church, please contact a parish priest to be your advocate in presenting your case to the Tribunal. VOCATION If you think that you have a vocation to the priesthood or religious life please speak with one of our priests, or contact the Diocesan Director of Vocations at 941-484-9548, visit www.dioceseofvenice.org/vocations

Our Goal ...................... $462,000 Contributions to date . $0 Our Pledges ................. $0 Pledge Goal Attained .. 0%
Making Your Pledge to the Catholic Faith Appeal
As you are contemplating your contributions to St Leo for the new year, please consider making a pledge to help us pay our Diocesan tax directly. We encourage you to do this, as this is the best way for the parish to plan for the upcoming financial year. You may have already received a pledge card in the mail from the diocese, or you can use one which will be available next weekend in the pews. These may be returned in the collection baskets. Through your generosity last year St. Leo was able to meet its pledge goal directly. The diocesan assessment is based on our regular income at the rate of 26%. Your contribution to the 2020 CFA is the best and most efficient way to help our parish, and the collected funds support numerous ministries throughout the Church.
Sunday, Feb 02, 2020 FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD Family histories Life can change in a heartbeat. A newborn is presented for an inconspicuous customary blessing. Then destiny grips his family with a startling prophetic utterance. The holy purpose of families stirs to life in our commemoration of this story, as we ponder the mission of our own families. How do we share our gifts and hospitality? How do we exemplify the love that binds us? Today the U.S. Catholic community especially observes a National Day of Prayer for the African American Family, with its unique challenges and special witness within our national story. Listen: The prophets are still whispering.
TODAY'S READINGS: Malachi 3:1-4; Hebrews 2:14–18; Luke 2:22-40 (524). “Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many.”
Monday, Feb 03, 2020 MEMORIAL OF BLAISE, BISHOP, MARTYR Be a healing presence During this time of year, lots of us worry about coughs and colds. Well, we Catholics have a saint for that: Saint Blaise, the patron of throat ailments. Many churches offer special blessings of the throat on this day. Blaise was a healer of bodily and spiritual ailments. When he retreated to a cave to pray, people continued to seek him to be made well. He even healed sick animals who came to him. Are you the kind of person others turn to for caring? How can you help make others whole?
TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Samuel 15:13-14, 30; 16:5-13; Mark 5:1-20 (323). “They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Tuesday, Feb 04, 2020 Illness escapes easy answers Today’s gospel has dramatic stories of healing: Jairus’ daughter is at death’s door until Jesus works a miracle. And a woman with a hemorrhage finds respite through Christ. Despite the many times Jesus cured the sick, our faith doesn’t simply teach “illness bad, Jesus good.” It has a nuanced view of bad health. Illness is “among the gravest problems confronted in human life,” states the Catechism; it can lead to “anguish and self-absorption.” But illness can also be a path toward maturity, compassion, and gratitude, the Catechism con-tinues. Take a moment today to meditate on how illness—your own and others—impacts your faith.
TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Samuel 18:9-10, 14b, 24-25a, 30—19:3; Mark 5:21-43 (324). “He took the child by the hand and said to her, ‘Talitha koum,’ which means, ‘Little girl, I say to you, arise!’”
Wednesday, Feb 05, 2020 MEMORIAL OF AGATHA, VIRGIN, MARTYR Noble is as noble does What is it about Saint Agatha, born in Sicily in 235, that she is one of only seven women named in the Canon of the Mass? Could it be her work as a deaconess? Was it the brutal torture she endured at the hand of Roman prefect Quintian? Was it her miraculous intervention to save a city from destruction by a volcano? The answer is likely in this exchange from The Acts of the Martyrdom of Saint Agatha: “What is your condition?” asks Quintian. Agatha responds, “Not only was I born free, but of noble family.” Quintian: “If you claim to be free and noble, why do you show yourself to live and dress like a slave?” “Because I am a servant of Christ,” Agatha says. Remember the freedom that comes with a commitment to love.
TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Samuel 24:2, 9-17; Mark 6:1-6 (325). “Many who heard him were astonished.”
Thursday, Feb 06, 2020 MEMORIAL OF PAUL MIKI, PRIEST, MARTYR, AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS Learn forgiveness from a role model We associate the city of Nagasaki, Japan with August 9, 1945 when the United States dropped the second (and last) atomic bomb used in World War II. But nearly 350 years earlier, in 1597, Paul Miki and 25 other Catholics, lay and clergy, children and adults, were martyred for their faith on a hill, now called Holy Mountain, overlooking Nagasaki. Miki used his last moments of life to forgive his executioners: “After Christ’s example I forgive my persecutors,” he is reported to have said. “I do not hate them. I ask God to have pity on all, and I hope my blood will fall on my fellow men as a fruitful rain.” Seek a moment today, and every day, to practice forgiveness in your own life.
TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Kings 2:1-4, 10-12; Mark 6:7-13 (326). “He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick.”
Friday, Feb 07, 2020 Street-level charity While Jeanne Marie Rendu is hardly a household name, most people know of the squalid conditions in 19th-century France described in Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables that compelled Jeanne Marie to act. Taking the religious name Rosalie when she entered the Daughters of Charity, she served the poor in disease-infested, overcrowded Paris and also guided leaders, thinkers, and social activists in her home, including Frederic Ozanam, with whom she later co-founded the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. She paid attention to the suffering around her and continually asked for God’s intervention. “Never have I prayed so well as in the streets,” she said. Her advice to her sisters more than 150 years ago still applies today as we encounter the poor among us: “Remember, Our Lord hides behind those rags.”
TODAY'S READINGS: Sirach 47:2-11; Mark 6:14-29 (327). “[Herod] was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to [John the Baptist].”
Saturday, Feb 08, 2020 MEMORIAL OF JOSEPHINE BAKHITA Finding grace to overcome A child of loving Sudanese parents who was kidnapped by Arab slave traders when she was 7, Josephine Bakhita (1869-1947) knew the trauma of loss of family, compounded by 12 years of slavery where she was bought and sold like a commodity. When a master took her to Italy and temporarily left her with the Canossian Daughters of Char-ity, Josephine found a home that—with the sisters’ assistance—she never had to leave. She joined the community and for 42 years served as a cook and doorkeeper known for her gentle and charismatic presence. This amazing woman, whose body bore slavery’s scars of 114 lashes, found it possible to proclaim, “The Lord has loved me so much: We must love everyone . . . we must be compassionate!” Practice compassion as best you can today.
TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Kings 3:4-13; Mark 6:30-34 (328). “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.”
Beginning at 9am This Wednesday, Feb 5th and continuing for 8 weeks
Room 13-14 of the Education Building
