Annual Blessing of the Animals

Your pets are invited to our annual celebration of the Feast of St. Francis Sunday, October 4, at 4:30 p.m., when they will receive their annual blessing in honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.

All creatures are welcome; no exceptions. Snacks and refreshments will be available for everyone.

Please leash or cage your pets, and invite your friends and neighbors to bring their pets, too.

Pet Supply Drive

We are collecting pet supplies for Richmond Animal Care & Control (RACC). Suggested donations include canned cat food, dry dog food, milk bones, mylar cat toys, and nylon dog leashes.

Please place your donations in the designated boxes in the Parish Hall beginning Sunday, September 20, or bring them to the animal blessing.
