St. Leo the Great Church, known as a beacon of light in our struggling neighborhood, serves as a parish to the North Fairmount, Millvale and The Villages of Roll Hill neighborhoods.  More than 90% of our phone calls are from people in need.  St. Leo’s offers a wide variety of services to residents of our neighborhoods, including:

Alcoholics Anonymous
Chapter meetings held at St. Leo’s weekly. 

Bereavement Services:  St. Leo’s hosts funeral services for indigent members of our community as well as neighborhood persons who have no faith affiliation.  Upon request, St. Leo’s Pastor offers his services as a presider at funeral services held onsite or at local funeral homes. 

Christmas Give-Away for residents in the neighborhood. 

Doorbell Ministry

Fairmount Providers
  

Click here for A Short History of the Fairmount Providers
In November, 2004, representatives of community, church, school, recreation groups and social service agencies in the Fairmount neighborhood began meeting to share information, network and advocate together to further enhance the quality of life in our area.  Fairmount Providers continue to meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month (except December) from 11:30 am to 1 pm. Members take turns hosting and providing lunch. Anyone is welcome to attend.  Minutes: February 20, 2020

National Day of Prayer/Caravan of Prayer  
For more than a decade St. Leo’s has been joined with other churches in the neighborhood to enfold the community in prayer on the National Day of Prayer, the first Thursday in May. Participants form a caravan of prayer, stopping to pray at least a dozen places in the neighbor, including schools, treatment centers, senior residences, playgrounds, and areas of high crime. Anyone is invited to take part in the prayer caravans.

Prison Ministry
Since the late 1970s, Hamilton County, Ohio jail and treatment facilities have been served by volunteer chaplains.  In 2007, a group of chaplains--led by Reverend Jack Marsh--gathered in prayer to discern how they could add to the success of jail ministry, both locally and other places.  Part of their discernment centered on how to create an enhanced model for jail ministry that was effective, measurable and replicable.  After months of meetings, myriad pads of easel paper and a mountain of prayer, Transforming Jail Ministries was born.  St. Leo's pastor, Fr. Jim Schutte, serves as one of the chaplains for Transforming Jail Ministries.

Visiting the Imprisoned

Used Toy and Clothing Sale
Offers families of limited means the great dignity and opportunity to Christmas shop for their families. Held once a year, in December. Open to anybody and everybody. New and gently used clothing, toys and knick-knacks are made available at affordable prices.

St. Leo Church is proud to be a member of The Fairmount Providers' Group, which meets on a regular basis and communicates among themselves on a daily basis to collectively work to meet the needs of the residents of North Fairmount and surrounding neighborhoods.
