This year, the feast of St. Francis falls on a Friday. St. Francis was a mystic, poet, and wandering preacher who was known for his work with the poor and his love of animals. For that reason, his feast is often celebrated with the blessing of pets. So, bring your pet along and join us on the front lawn of the church on Friday, October 4th! In addition to the blessings, we'll have hot chocolate, baked goods, and more! We hope to see you there!
