Blessing of the Animals

This cheerful rain-or-shine event, held on the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi (October 4), reminds us all that God created and loves all living creatures of land, sea, and air! Bring your dog, cat, bird, or other pet, and meet us outside in the church plaza. We will have a short service in honor of St. Francis of Assisi and then a Blessing of the Animals for all attending. Be prompt so that we can finish before the 5PM Vigil Mass. Please have your pets on a leash or in a secure carrier for their safety.
