All creatures of our God and King, lift up your voice and with us sing!  Alleluia! Alleluia!”

Thanks to all the parishioners and visitors who brought their pets last weekend for the annual Blessing of the Animals. The church parking lot was full of St. Francis of Assisi’s four-legged brothers and sisters, from Lucky, the pony who attends every year, to the 14 doggies large and small, to the 2 cats, not to mention their human companions who love and are loved by their pets!
