Join Dcn. John and Dcn. Ed for the Blessing of the Pets on Friday, October 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the Peace Garden. Bring your pets on a leash or in a carrier and receive a special blessing.
We do this in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, patron Saint of Animals, as we celebrate him on this date.
The Blessing of animals "...means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as Saint Francis of Assisi showed us. It means respecting each of God’s creatures and respecting the environment in which we live." — Homily of Pope Francis, March 2013
