KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS POSTER WINNERS
“Keep Christ in Christmas” Poster Contest: A Huge “Thank You” to all the children (and the parents
who encouraged them) who participated in the contest and helped us all remember the supreme gift of Jesus! Weekly morn-ing Mass parishioners voted on the posters. Many comments were received from people who came to our Christmas Masses and viewed the display in the Parish Life Center (thank you Den-ise). The 5-7 year old winner was Liam Freeman, 8-10 year old winner was Paige Freeman and the 11-14 year old winner was Mick Joyce. Other participants included Ellie Reed, Vivanna Berretta, Elena Giardino, Hayleigh Burgio, Parker Warner, Mi-chael Scamacca, Adrianna Burgio and Jakob Babitch. May we all love Jesus as these precious children do!

West by Northwest
A Cursillo Ultreya Center of the Rochester Diocese
Ultreya meets last Saturday of each month December 31 2017
WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS
The parking lot and walkways are cleared and salted. Howev-er, sometimes they can be icy and slippery. The North exit drive-way is often icy because the sun does not reach the driveway near Lake Ave. Please be extra cautious when exiting the parking lot. Always walk with caution in case of hidden black ice. There are buckets of salt near each entrance - it’s OK if you see a need for a little salt to spread a bucket or two around.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AWARDS
Each year the Knights of Columbus, an International Catholic men’s fraternal organization, presents individual Councils awards according to the accomplishments of the Council. The “Shining Armor” award is given to a Knight who has been very active in his first year of membership. This year this award was given to Ron Bourret. A “Family of the Year” award is give to a Knight and his family who serves his parish and community both individ-ually and as a family. Each Council’s “Family of the Year” is then in the running for the “State Family of the Year” and in turn is eligible to the International Family of the Year. The St. Leo Coun-cil #9461 is honored to have the Jose Rivera Family chosen as the 3rd runner-up for the “International Family of the Year” for 2017. The John VerWulst Family received the “Family of the Year award and are now eligible for the State and International Family of the Year.
As a Council, the St. Leo Council received the “Double Star Council Award” by doubling their annual goal for number of new members last year.

Stewardship: How much one gives is based on prayerful discern-ments of the gifts they have been given; giving from one’s “first fruits” and not from what is “left-over” without counting the cost. Prayerfully consider the voluntary contribution of your time, talent and treasure.
Talent: At the end of this busy year, we have so much to be thank-ful for the people sharing their time, talent and treasure. Thanks to all the supporters of our parish during the time of construction; the many stewards who spent countless hours doing the actual work; for the patience of those who were sometimes “inconvenienced;” for the construction crew who worked so diligently and most of all to all whose financial contributions made the project a success.
Thanks to all who made our Christmas liturgies so meaningful and special; many of our ministers served at more than one Mass, the Musicians, the Altar Servers, the Lectors, the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, the parking lot people, and of course Deacon Lon and Fr. Joe!
Thanks to people who so generously gave to the CMA and ena-bled our Parish to reach our goal!

RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR
This is the time of the year when we thoughtfully review our past and promise to do better “next year.” Whether it is to eat more fruits and vegetables, get more exercise, improve our spiritual life - now is a good time to start.
Looking for ideas? Try these: Visit the Blessed Sacrament on a Wednesday between 9
AM and 8:30 PM. Plan on attending the Valentine Party on February 10. Attend the Financial Peace University beginning January
10 and learn how to better manage your money. Look over the Ministry List and join a Ministry. Attend ChristLife on Thursday Evenings, Following
Christ is starting January 4. Attend a Retreat: the Men’s Annual Retreat at Notre
Dame will be April 6-8; the Women’s Retreat September 14-16 or try a Couples retreat February 16-18 or October 12-14.
Plan on attending our own St. Leo Retreat March 5-7 with our Diocesan priests, Fr. Matt Jones, Fr. Peter Mottola and Fr Peter VanLieshout.
Make a Cursillo weekend: Men’s ‘92 is July 13-16; Wom-en’s ‘88 is November 8-11.
Attend the Catholic Women’s Conference March 10; the Catholic Men’s Conference October 13.
This is only a partial list of things happening at St. Leo’s Make a resolution to attend one or more events and have a blessed 2018!

If you would like to have either of the candles burn in memory of someone or to honor a person or a special occasion you may do so. Call the Parish Office, 392-2710 and schedule a week, from Sunday

SAINTS OF THE WEEK
St.. Sylvester I, Pope FEAST DAY - December 31 Sylvester (Silvester) was the first pope after Constantine’s Edict of Milan granting a degree of toleration to Christian worship
(313). His pontificate lasted twenty years and included the famous Council of Nicea against the Arian heresy (3325). He died De-cember 31, 335. Sylvester is depicted in papal robes, and his attributes are the bull (because he revived one that had been killed by a magician) and the dragon that, according to legend, he tamed. He is the protector of masons, stonecutters, domestic animals and bovines. The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Solemnity FEAST DAY - January 1
This was the first feast dedicated to Mary to be inserted in the liturgical calendar of the Western Church. The divine maternity of Mary was proclaimed church dogma at the Council ot Ephesus (431); in more recent times, the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) made the meaning explicit: “that Christ should be recognized, in the truest sense, as the Son of God and the Son of Man.” Be-fore this feast was inserted in the revised Roman Catholic calendar, the first day of the year had been dedicated to remembrance of the Circumcision of the Lord, which took place eight days after his birth, as prescribed by Jewish law.
