The name "Leonine" derived 413.527.2693 www.fleurylumber.com from the fact that they were 231 Main Street initially introduced by Pope Easthampton Leo XIII.  David M. Fagnand [email protected] [email protected] The intention for which the prayers were offered changed over time. Originally they were offered for the defence of the temporal sovereignty of the Holy See. After this prob- lem was settled with the Lateran Treaty of 1929, Pope Pius XI ordered them to be said for the restoration to the people of Russia of tranquillity and freedom to profess the Catho- lic faith. This gave rise to the unofficial use of the name Serving Pioneer Valley & The Hilltowns Since 1948 The bank of hometown values "Prayers for the Conversion of Russia" for the prayers.
