Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 2^nd at 2 pm! All creatures are welcome & will receive a personal blessing, a certificate, and a St. Francis medal. This year we will welcome humans and their furry, scaled, finned, or feathered companions to a reception in their honor in the parish hall, featuring delicious treats for humans and beasts! Blessings, certificates, and medals are also offered to people who have lost a pet; just bring the pet’s ashes or a paper or electronic photo to the service.
