On Sunday afternoon, October 7, 2018 all were welcomed and many came at 1PM and brought their lovable family pets to the Annual Parish Blessing of the Animals in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of all God’s Animals, whose Feast Day was October 4. This event took place outside Gate of Heaven Church downstairs in the I Street Courtyard, in St. Josephs Courtyard, down by the large Celtic Cross. Father Tom Olson, our Parochial Vicar, was glad to see everyone and to say a special prayer and Bless all the wonderful pets and their families who came to this parish event at Gate of Heaven Church.
