ST. LEO THE GREAT CHURCH FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA www.stleofairfax.com September 16, 2012 NEW PARISH WEBSITE www.stleofairfax.com Dear Friends, Aer many meengs and much thought and work, I am able to announce our new parish website. For a number of years I have considered the need to update our site aesthecally as well as funconally. I wish to thank Fr. Baez, Deacon Dave Maurer, Jeff Stevens, and Chris Wieczorek for the many hours which have gone into the planning and execuon of this project. Thanks to Tamara Halstead for her professional assistance. I wish to express deep gratude to Kevin McGrail who has for many years generously hosted our old website. I am truly thankful for his dedicated service to our parish in this regard. Of special note are the new email addresses for the parish staff. Each address begins with the first inial and last name of the staff member followed by @stleofairfax.com. As with all new endeavors of this kind, there are bound to be a few unexpected “glitches” (and a few which are expected). It is my hope that as these are resolved, our new website will be a great resource not only for praccal informaon concerning parish acvies but for deepening our understanding of the Catholic Faith and the spreading of the Good News of Jesus Christ. In Christ, Rev. David A. Whitestone, Pastor TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME —Please remember in your prayers the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, especially: Anna Marie Thompson, aunt of Jenny Wise. —We ask you to remember those in need of our daily prayers, especially: Mary Cecilia Loyko. Welcome Home Are you or someone you know questioning or struggling to accept some aspect of Church teachings, feeling unable to participate in the Church, or that the Catholic faith is irrelevant? Welcome Home is an opportunity for Catholics to find answers and support in a respectful, welcoming setting. The group will meet twice a month on Sunday evenings, starting October 14th. Each session will include a brief talk, small group discussions, and opportunities for private individual meetings. We are all on a journey to our true home, and we need each other. Please come, and invite any Catholic who is questioning or away from the Church to find the answers for which they are looking.
