In celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Animals, parishioners, family and friends and all pet owners brought their pets to St. Joseph’s Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, October 3, at 10 a.m. The blessing will took place in the field adjacent to the church. Participants brought their well-behaved pets - including cats, dogs, turtles, fish, guinea pigs and other pets - to receive a blessing of good health and well-being. Thank you Fr. Manuel and Deacon Mike!
