🐾 Annual Pet Blessing – Feast of St. Francis of Assisi

Saturday, October 4 | 10:00 AM | Under the Pavilion

In honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, OLOF invites parishioners to bring their pets for a special blessing. This tradition in the Catholic Church reminds all that creation reflects the goodness of God and that people are called to care for it with gratitude.

All creatures are welcome. Please ensure pets are leashed or in carriers for safety.

On October 4, give thanks to God for the gift of animal companions. May St. Francis inspire gentle care toward all of God’s creatures.

En honor a la Fiesta de San Francisco de Asís, santo patrón de los animales, Nuestra Señora de Fátima invita a los feligreses a traer sus mascotas para una bendición especial. Esta tradición en la Iglesia Católica recuerda que toda la creación refleja la bondad de Dios y que las personas están llamadas a cuidarla con gratitud.

¡Todas las criaturas son bienvenidas! Por favor asegúrese de que las mascotas estén con correa o en transportadoras por seguridad.

El 4 de octubre, se puede dar gracias a Dios por el regalo de los compañeros animales. Que San Francisco inspire un cuidado amable hacia todas las criaturas de Dios.
