Blessing of the Animals

In honor of St. Francis of Assisi, the Blessing of the Animals will take place on Sat., Oct. 5 at 9:30 a.m. in the Courtyard. St. Francis wrote, “All praise to you, Oh Lord, for all these brother and sister creatures!” He knew that the bond between person and pet is like no other. Bring your cats, dogs and other pets for a short prayer service and a special pet blessing. Coffee and cookies will be served.
