  •  Catechesis in the Catholic Church is the “echoing down” of our faith.
  • Parents have shared the gift of human life with their children; through Baptism they have enriched them with a share in God’s own life.
  • Parents are catechist, echoing down their faith, precisely because they are parents.
  • It is the duty and honor of St. Leo’s Parish Community to  empower and enable parents to naturally and simply share the love of God and the faith  with their children.
