Feast of St. Francis , Blessing of the Animals

Animals are welcome in church for the Blessing of the Animals, a cherished event that celebrates the profound bond between humans and their beloved companions. This tradition, often held around the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, invites congregants to bring their pets for a special blessing. It's a heartwarming occasion filled with joy, as we honor the beauty of creation and the love that animals bring into our lives. If you plan to attend, ensure they are leashed or contained, creating a safe environment for all.
