In honor of the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, a Blessing of Animals will take place on Saturday, October 5th at 9:15 am to 10:00 am in the church parking lot. Any parishioners who would like their pet to be blessed are warmly invited to bring along their family pet for a special blessing. We just ask that owners take care to keep their pets on a leash or in an appropriate travel cage.
