During his pastorate at St. Ann's, Father Leo encouraged greater use by the parish of the parish hall, and continued growth in the faith. In his own words, "St. Ann's is a small, active, rural parish community"; and the parish is "world famous in serving others".

The support, love and care shown by the parishioners for their pas- tors is well known and much appreciated. Friendships built up during a pastor's stay do not cease, .but will long be cherished even if duties else- where allow for only occasional visits to a place of such happy memo- ries. These are the sentiments of Father Trainor as he reflected on his

four years at St. Ann's.
