Blessing of the Animals

In celebration of the Feast of St. Francis (Oct. 4), we will celebrate our annual Blessing of the Animals at all weekend Masses on October 3 and 4. Parishioners are invited to bring their well-behaved and properly controlled furry, feathered, and scaled friends to all Masses. Blessing of animals will take place at the end of all Masses.

And on Sunday, Oct. 4, following the 10 am Mass, there will be Hospitality, combined with an Alumni Reception, on Gleeson Library Plaza at 11 am. Parishioners are invited! Coffee, tea, and desserts will be served. Pets in attendance will receive a complimentary USF-branded bandana while supplies last. RSVP with USF's registration page!
