In honor of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, join us for the
Blessing of the Animals! We will gather outside the front entrance of the church near the Blessed Mother statue and garden for a special blessing of your pets. All creatures great and small are welcome. For everyone’s safety, please keep dogs on leashes and cats and other small pets in secure carriers.
