This annual service commemorates the feast day set aside to honor St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and ecology. All are welcome to bring their pets to receive a blessing during the service in the church’s courtyard. Pets should be on leashes or in carriers. A memorial area will be set aside for deceased pets. Bring a photo or other memento of your pet for the display. For more information, call 995-9673 or visit http://www.sothl.org.
