Monsignor Nicholas Amato

Pastoral Administrator

It is with great joy that I join the St. Leo’s community as your Pastoral Administrator. I look forward to getting to know each of you, your families, and the rich traditions that make this parish so special.
My parents were born in Alcamo and Castelvetrano in Sicily, Italy, and I am grateful to speak Italian—a gift that allows me to connect even more deeply with this vibrant community.
I was ordained in 1970 and have had the privilege of ministering in seven parishes, serving as a pastor for 21 of those years. Most recently, I have been at the Church of the Nativity in Timonium, Maryland. Now, I am excited to walk alongside you in faith, sharing in prayer, worship, and the life of this historic parish.
I will make every effort to be present and involved and continue to focus on the great traditions that make St. Leo’s a home for so many.
I am here to serve you, and I look forward to meeting each of you in the weeks ahead.
