Diocese of Oakland
Roman Rite
Located in the Piedmont Avenue neighborhood of Oakland, California, the Church of St. Leo the Great has long been known as a cultural landmark in the area. The parish was founded in 1911 to serve the growing community of Italian, Irish and German Catholics who lived and worked in Piedmont. The parish was established by Archbishop Riordan in territory that had previously been part of Sacred Heart and St. Frances de Sales parishes; he named it in honor of Pope St. Leo the Great who served as Pontiff from 440 until he died in 461. The Archbishop called upon Father Owen Lacey to become the first Pastor of the new parish.
Sacred Heart Catholic community has a tradition of over 140 years. We the parish of today stand on the broad shoulders of those who have gone before us. They have given us a legacy of generosity, commitment, prayer, education and service. Parish Office Hours: Tuesday & Thursday 9:00am-4:00pm F
