Father Michael Simply the Best
Father Michael Della Penna, Pastor at Saint Leonard’s Church may not perform miracles but he has made the church a positive and active part of the community.
Since his return to the North End, he and the church have regained its identity as a real part of the neighborhood.
Father Michael has become a figurehead throughout the area and has been involved with many community organizations while performing his duties as a priest and pastor.
He is recognized everywhere he goes throughout the community and is well respected.
He was born and raised in the North End and participated in many programs, activities and events. He played in the local Little League where he made lots of friends and is still making them.
Over the years the North End has had many church pastors but one would be hard-pressed to find or remember a better one then Father Michael.
