ST. CLARE OF ASSISI PET BLESSING

On October 4th, people all over the world will be celebrating the feast day of the Patron Saint of Animals, Saint Francis of Assisi. It’s customary that in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures, a special ceremony called the “Blessing of the Animals” takes place. For convenience purposes, the Saturday closest to October 4th has been chosen for St. Clare of Assisi’s Annual Pet Blessing.
