Blessing of the Animals!

This past Sunday, October 13, many from the communities of St. Alphonsus, St. Benedict, and St. John met on a beautiful, sunny, fall day on the St. John Courtyard to have their pets blessed by Fr. Parrish to commemorate the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. There were over 20 dogs, two cats, two guinea pigs and a bunny! Thanks again to Paul and Suzanna Litwin and the Care for Creation group for helping to organize this special event.
