The Blessing of the Animals:                                          
                              Celebrating the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi
                                                             October 3, 2007

The Blessing of the Animals celebrated the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. Saint Francis' love for all animals teaches each the beauty of God's creatures. The Saint Patrick Green was filled with pets of all types - both young and old. Thank you to Fr. Joe Metzger for officiating the blessing - and for all the families who shared their pets with the
Saint Patrick Catholic School Community.
