St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), patron saint of animals and ecology, is known for his love for God's creation.  His feast day is celebrated October 4.

You are invited to bring your family pet(s) to the front of the church for a blessing on Saturday, October 5.  Father Bill will be having two separate blessings:

Please contain your pet(s) on a leash or in a cage for comfort of those participating.
