Celebrating 140 YearsSaint Leo The Great Roman Catholic Church is celebrating 140 years. The church was built for Italian immigrants and was dedicated on September 18, 1881. It is registered as a Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior.
From the beginning, the church has been the heart of the Little Italy Community. Over the years, generations of families have made St. Leo’s their parish, created special memories and traditions, formed lifelong friendships, and volunteered in our community. We celebrate not only the church but the lives and works of all who have worshiped here and made St. Leo’s their parish. Take time to celebrate our joyous milestone and create even more memories with fellow parishioners.
