Marriage

The first step in marriage preparation is to contact a priest to officiate the marriage. A couple must also contact the parish office at least six months in advance of their desired wedding date with the actual date being reserved by the pastor. Wedding times available at St. Leo are on Friday evenings (you set the time) and Saturdays at either 10:00am or 2:00pm.

Holy Orders

The term Holy Orders is used to refer to ordination or to those individuals ordained to the orders of bishop, priest, or deacon. Although only priests are ordained bishops, anyone can choose to venture the vocation of Priesthood or the Deaconate. For more information on these vocations, please visit the Omaha Archdiocesan website.

Anointing the Sick

Our parish priests are available to administer the sacrament of the sick either at your home or at the hospital upon request.
