Annual Blessing of Pets
Our annual pet blessing, in Commemoration of St. Francis, will take place Sunday, October 2nd at the beginning of the 11am Holy Mass. The Mass will take place in the parish hall. Well behaved dogs, cats, fish, birds and all God’s creatures are invited with their owners. The blessing will be given in Commemoration of Saint Francis of Assisi (Oct. 4). As we know, animals trusted St. Francis and he treated them with courtesy. Near the end of his life St. Francis composed a song of praise and thanks to God for all his creations, called “Canticle to Brother Sun” – also known as the “Canticle of the Creatures.” From this song we know that St. Francis did not perceive himself isolated from other creatures. He simply assumed that all creatures – not only humans – form one family of creation. So we are encouraged to bless and praise God with cats, dogs, birds and all God’s creatures.

Free Drive-in Movie – Mars Needs Moms
Come and join us for some end of the summer fun featuring Mars Needs Moms on Monday, August 22nd at 7:30pm (rain date: Wednesday, August 24th at 7:30pm).
Mars Needs Moms: Take out the trash, eat your broccoli-who needs moms, anyway? Nine-year-old Milo finds out just how much he needs his mom when she’s nabbed by Martians who plan to steal her mom-ness for their own young. Milo’s quest to save his mom involves stowing away on a spaceship, navigating an elaborate, multi-level planet and taking on the alien nation and their leader. With the help of a tech-savvy, underground Earthman named Gribble and a rebel Martian girl called Ki, Milo just might find his way back to his mom-in more ways than one.
Rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for sci-fi action and peril.
This is a fundraiser for the youth for upcoming outing. Your participation will be greatly appreciated so bring your family and friends. The more the merrier.
The movie is free. We will charge $1 for Hot Dogs, Pop Corn and 50 cents for soda or water.
