All are welcome to join us on Saturday, October 1, 2022 at 12:00 NN (in the parking lot in front of the Rectory) for our annual “Blessing of Pets / Animals” honoring the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi.

We look forward to this tradition of centuries past as we recall Saint Francis who instructed many in his day - and ours - to always give thanks to God for the wonders of creation and to respect the precious gift of life. October is “Respect Life” month when we pray that our leaders truly respect all human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
