OFFERTORY REPORT

Due to the Christmas holiday and the early deadline for the bulletin, last week’s collection was not available.

Thank you for your generosity.

SilverSource, formerly Senior Services of Stamford, is available to St. Leo parishioners both as a wonderful place to volunteer or as an important resource for help.

Interested volunteers can help by calling, visiting, or shopping for Stamford senior citizens. Whether you run to the market or visit, read and play games with the seniors, your help is welcome.

St. Leo parishioners who are seniors and require some help can receive financial help for housing stability, transportation to and from doctors appointments, or financial assistance with items such as housing stability, hearing aids or glasses.

If you are interested in volunteering or receiving help, please call Michael Feighan at SilverSource at 203-324-6584.
