Pet Blessings in Honor of St. Francis of Assisi

The annual blessing of the animals was held on October 4, 2024, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals. It was a picture-perfect day, too, for this happy occasion. Father Passenant and Father Antonin blessed a mix of small and large dogs, a cat, a few fine-feathered friends, two guinea pigs, and a turtle. Thank you all for gathering with us.
