In recognition of the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi on October 4, Fr. Buckley will celebrate the “Blessing of the Animals” liturgy at 12 noon on the East Lawn. Parishioners will have ample time to attend morning worship services and return with their pets for the blessing outdoors. Dogs should be “on leash” and cats, in a carrier. All pet owners and their pets are welcome to attend. No lion tamers, please!
