Pope St Leo the Great


Yesterday, at the morning Mass, I preached to the children about Pope St Leo the Great. A fascinating character. There is little I want to say, here, about Pope Leo but I do encourage you to find out more about him.

To help the children understand the man, I talked about three aspects of his life which would lead history to call him 'Great'; an honour bestowed upon only one other Pope.
