Blessing of the Animals
On or around St. Francis Day, it has become a custom to bless the animals. St. Francis loved the natural world God created and loved all of the creatures in it. He saw nature as reflecting the beauty of its Creator and could see the loving will of God and His hand in all of nature. We will bless some of God’s creatures today, Sunday, October 5th at 3 PM in front of the Church. Our pets and all creatures are dear to us, and we can give thanks that God has let us enjoy them and care for them.
