St. Francis Day Blessing of the Animals

To honor St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Order, friend of all creatures and the patron saint of ecology, St. Peter’s Parish (1533 E. 17^th St.) is hosting a traditional Blessing of the Animals at the church on Monday evening, October 4^th at 7:00pm.  We will gather where best on property, depending on the weather and the size of the gather. Cider and “treats” will be available; donations will be accepted to support PAWS Ohio and their mission of caring for animals in need. All are welcome!
