Blessing of the Animals is Sunday, October 4th at 12:00pm! St. Francis of Assisi Day is also that day – He was an Italian friar who believed that nature and its creatures were a reflection of God, and that it was our duty to protect and enjoy them. Bring your pets today at 12:00pm and we will bless them on the patio. Kids – feel free to bring a stuffed animals. Also, if you wish, you may bring pet treats to share!
