Dear Parishioners, As you know there is a special anointing of the Holy Spirit on Our Lady of the Holy Rosary and St. Leo Parishes! The Holy Spirit is sending me now to a new mission of teaching St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body full-time. I won’t be able to continue as the faith formation director-- but there is already a great successor for my job lined up. I will still be teaching faith formation in our parish as long as I have the time to do so. It has been a beautiful faith enriching eight years for me! Thank you and please be assured of my love and prayers. Sister Mary Rose Reddy, DMML Director of Family Faith Formation Safe Environment Coordinator
