St. Mary’s Plans Drive Thru “Blessing of the Animals” – Next Sunday

Submitted by Mary Beth Harris, Parish Secretary

St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church will hold a drive through Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 11, at 1:30 PM, in the main St. Mary’s Church parking lot.  Enter via Elm Street, driving through to have your pet blessed by Father near the Church Street exit (right below the statue of St. Francis). 

Each pet will receive an individual blessing through the open car window on the passenger side. We ask God’s protection for our animal friends and remember that all living things are precious to Him. 

This blessing takes place in October, as St. Francis of Assisi’s Feast Day is this month. St. Francis had a special love of the furred, finned, and feathered creatures of the earth. 

People: please wear masks! Pets may attend mask-free!

All are welcome.
