How We Began

The Parish of St. Leonard was founded on the feast of Pentecost, May 27, 2007, through a decree of the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Antigonish in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Parish of St. Leonard is the result of an amalgamation of five parishes – Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Agnes, St. Alphonsus, St. Joseph (New Victoria), and St. Michael’s – and one mission – St. Joseph (Lingan). Together, community members have combined resources and are working toward a new sense of Church.
