Where to find us
Where Foreign Mission Meets Home Mission
Founded in 1886, St. Leo Church was founded by German Catholic immigrants. Now it is home to Burundian, Congolese and Guatemalan immigrants.
120 years ago the current church was built at the corner of 2573 St. Leo Place and Baltimore Avenue.
