Many people bring their pets to the church to be blessed on St. Francis’ feast day because of his love for animals. On Sunday, October 4, from 10:00 to 10:30am, immediately following the 9:00am Mass, the blessing will take place outside, by the side door of the church on the Cosburn Avenue side, near the apple tree. We invite all parishioners to bring their pets to the parish. Please be sure to have your pet always restrained.
