Leopold Picnic Saturday July 25, 2026

Some say the the first picnic was held in 1890. With dinners reportedly costing $.25.


The parish held a 2-day picnic in 1954, but it was decided after that, to hold it to only one day, and since that time the picnic has been set annually on the last Saturday in July.

GIFT SHOPPE

traditions

annual deck of cards

 Every  year, our Church Picnic is so much more than a single day of  celebration. It is a tradition lovingly passed from one generation to  the next—a reflection of the faith, generosity, and hardworking spirit  that has always defined our parish family! 

 Each  handmade quilt, stitched towel, crocheted keepsake, painted sign, jar  of homemade goodness, baked treat, and handcrafted treasure tells a  story. They are gifts of time, talent, and love that remind us of those  who came before us and inspire those who will carry these traditions  into the future.
