Blessing takes place following the conclusion of Mass. Our parish will provide certificates for all animals blessed along with St. Francis prayer cards featuring the pet blessing and St. Francis medals. Several door prizes will be awarded during the blessing. Our Shawl Ministry will have pet prayer shawls for all sick and elderly animals. A professional photographer will photograph owners and their pets by request. Our Young Apostle Ministry will host a pinecone bird feeder craft project for all children. All attendees are invited to a hamburger and hot dog bar-b-q following the blessing activities. We anticipate over 300 parishioners and their pets for this event. For more information call Frank at the phone number above, extension 125.
