Saturday, October 1
Begins at 12:00 pm on the playground

All are invited to attend our annual celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, when we offer thanks to God for all of his magnificent creation and especially for our animal friends. We will gather at 12:00 pm, rain (under the covered walkway) or shine (on the playground) for a short liturgy and the Blessing of the Animals.

St. Francis loved "All Creatures of our God and King," so bring out your well-loved pet, whatever its genus or species. No critter is too big or too small, but please bring your pet appropriately leashed. If you don't have a pet, bring a favorite plant. There will be treats for all (including pets) after the celebration.
