St. Sebastian Church will hold a Blessing of the Animals on Friday, October 4 at 5:30 pm in commemoration of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. The blessing will be held in the prayer garden located near the front of the church. Anything that runs, flies, hops, scampers, or slithers— and their owners—are welcome! Spectators are welcome to join us and witness this special blessing! Please be sure all animal friends are on a leash or in a carrier.
