The Season of Creation concludes each year on October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. This year, October 4 falls on a Sunday, so St. Francis is eclipsed liturgically by the Sunday in Ordinary Time. However, we will still uphold our practice of blessing family animals with a special outdoor Mass at 10am on that day. It will be a bi-lingual Sunday Mass with the blessing ceremony during the liturgy. All families — and all pets! — are welcome!
