Feast of Saint Francis – Blessing of Animals

Blessing of Pets on Mondays feast of Saint Francis was by far the most successful we have ever had! Thank you to all who brought their pets for blessing, to our pastor Rev. Fr. John Tizio, Deacon Lou Bartos for assisting, and the 7th grade students of Sacred Heart for a very organized assembly. God bless all creatures God blessed us with!
