Immaculate Conception Church Parish Staff

Father Leo Reinhardt is originally from Rochester, New York, one of seven children born to Bernice & John Reinhardt He was ordained to the priesthood in 1978 at St. Patrick’ s Church, Mumford. Following his priest internship at Holy Family from 1978 to 1981, he was assigned to the Church of the Annunciation from 1981 to 1985 and St Stephen’s in Geneva from 1985 to 1992. He was pastor of St John’s in Clyde and St Patrick’s in Savannah from 1992 to 2000. Father has always loved sports and is an avid golfer. He is a very loyal backer of the one and only team (in his opinion) that matters: the Green Bay Packers! He has stuck with them through thick and thin since the 1960s. Father tries to be available to his parishioners whenever they are in need and spends a good deal of time visiting the hospital and those who are homebound.
