We will celebrate St. Francis Day this Sunday, October 1, 2017, with the Blessing of the Animals after the 11 o’clock service in the front garden on Fifth Avenue at 10th Street (around 12:30 pm). This is a special celebration of all creatures great and small so please join us. You are also welcome to bring well-behaved pets to church that day. Less well-behaved pets are welcome in the garden. Everyone is welcome; tell all your friends and bring your neighbors! Here is a link to photos of animal blessings from prior years.
