St. Ann’s will commemorate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi with two animal blessings on Sunday, October 7, at 9:30 am and 1:30 pm. We welcome members of the 9:30 am Early Church congregation to bring real live or stuffed animals for a blessing during the service. We’ll also gather with neighbors and their pets for the 8th annual Blessing of the Animals at 1:30 pm in the chancel.
