Blessing of the Animals

10:00 am

Saturday, Oct. 14

Please bring your pet (all God's creatures welcomed!) whether it be furry, feathery, scaly or slimy for a blessing on Saturday morning, October 14, at 10:00 in the parking lot.

The event is held in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron Saint of animals. Francis considered all nature as the mirror of God and as so many steps to God. He called all creatures his “brothers” and “sisters,” and, in the most endearing stories about him, preached to the birds and persuaded a wolf to stop attacking the people of the town of Gubbio and their livestock if the townspeople agreed to feed the wolf.
