St. Francis of Assisi loved all of God’s creatures. One of the traditions for celebrating his Feast Day is the Blessing of Animals/Pets. The Blessings of Pets will take place in the Courtyard by the Blessed Mother Statue on Friday, October 4^th, following Adoration at approximately 7:15pm.  All are welcome to bring their four-legged friends for this blessing. Please remember to make sure your pet is secure on a leash or in a pet carrier.
