The annual Blessing of Animals will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 9:00am at the outdoor Santo Niño Shrine. All pet owners are encouraged to bring their animals.  If you own a dog, please be sure that it is on its leash.  Please also ensure that other animals are in a carrier, box or another type of containment device.  Owners will have the option of receiving a St. Francis medal for their pet.  This event is sponsored by the St. Francis of Assisi Ministry.
