St. Leo Pandemic Precautions
Due to recent spikes in COVID-19 cases, St.
Leo has suspended until further notice all choir and
congregational singing and the
participation of altar servers at
Sunday Masses. Also, face masks
are required at the 5:30 PM Vigil
and the Sunday Noon Masses.
The rest of the Masses remain mask-optional.
“Let your old age
be childlike, and
your childhood like
old age; that is, so
that neither may
your wisdom be
with pride, nor
your humility
without
wisdom.”
— St. Augustine

The Book Club is Back!

The St Leo Christian Book Club resumes Sunday meetings
September 19
7:00-8:00 PM
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Room.
The fall selection is
The Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton.
This 1925 classic, written in light of Social Darwinism,
influenced the conversion of C.S. Lewis from atheism to
Christianity. In his imitable style, Chesterton argues for
the Christian faith as the path to satisfying both human
intellect and human spirit — the attribute that sets Man
apart from other living creatures. The treatise takes on
evolution, cultural relativism and other modernist notions
that linger with us a century later.
Newcomers welcome!
Before the meeting, please read the Introduction and
Part I, Chapter 1, “The Man in the Cave.”
�
For more information on the book club, please contact
Mary Riser at 336-817-5976.
“I do not believe that the best way
to produce an outline of history
is to rub out the lines.”
