Blessing of the Animals–October 4

“If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.” (St. Francis of Assisi)

Come and celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi with your animal friends. We will gather outside for a brief liturgy and a blessing of our companion animals at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, October 4. Please make sure that animals are under control, i.e., on leashes or in crates/cages, so that we don’t have any inter-species fisticuffs!
