St. Francis Day ~ Blessing of the Animals
October 2 at 8:00 am and 10:30 am
We will be celebrating the feast day of our patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis saw in all creation—animals, plants, stars, people--the evidence of God’s handiwork. We are honored to share in the name of this beloved saint, and we continually strive to be worthy of his name. People are invited on this day to bring their animals to church for a personal blessing during the church service. It is both a fun, and yet very moving experience, to have our little dog, cat, turtle or canary, blessed and honored. Pictures will be taken, and after a time on the bulletin board, they will be yours to keep. Enjoy this day with all its spirit and joy. We hope to see you, and your 4-legged and 2-legged friends.
***A donation will be made from the open plate offering to the Clackamas County Animal Shelter, for their relief work with mistreated and abandoned animals.
The MDE Ministry at St. Francis has been a supporter of the Project Pooch program at McLaren School for Boys in Woodburn for many years. One of our church members, Charlie Allis, even has several buildings there named for him.
We are pleased that one of the staff at McLaren, Pamela Owen, will be a special guest at our church on October 2, St. Francis Day, to give an overview of Project Pooch, and how dogs are a part of the rehabilitation process at the school.
