Please join us for a special St. Francis Feast blessing. All animals and their families are welcome. A number of local animal rescues and veterinary hospitals will attend, providing information about fostering or adopting pets, and their care. We'll have snacks for all our guests-—two legged, four paws, fins, feathers, scales, and more.
