Singles 40s, 50s, 60s+ Group at St. Leo's-
Newsletter for July - 2009
The Singles Group at St. Leo's is a group of single people in their 40s, 50s & 60+, unmarried for any reason. We welcome everyone who is 40+ and single regardless of their religious affiliation. For more details, please see our website link by going to http://www.stleo.net/singles/singles.php or http://www.stleo.net and under "Group Activities," go to "Singles." If you don't have Internet access, call the parish office at 397-0407, and they will mail you one.
REMINDER When we say “single people,” we mean that you are single due to never having been married or that you are either widowed, divorced or legally separated. If you don’t fall into these categories, it is better if you do not attend our singles’ events. Thanks for understanding that this is strictly a “singles group.” (If you have any questions in this regard, please contact St. Leo’s at the number listed above.)
