Ladies’ Auxiliary

St. Leo’s Ladies’ Auxiliary has as it’s purpose “to help the pastor in Christ’s ministry to the people of the parish.”  More specifically, they arrange for monthly altar care, organize events to benefit the local community, e.g., West Alabama Sav-a-life.  They support the families in times of grief, organizing a meal  for the family at the time of funerals, help financially with youth events such as parties and Vacation Bible school.

All women of the parish are considered members of the Auxiliary and encouraged to attend the monthly meetings held on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. (except during June, July, and August.). Modest dues are collected once yearly and the monies used to finance the projects listed as well as pay for the hosts used at Mass.

 Current officers are Kay Courney, president, Denise Duke, Vice President, Jan McDonald, secretary and Lucette Osborn, treasurer.  For more information please contact Kay Courtney, 334-289-4281.
