Marian Grotto in the back of St. Francis Xavier Church

In tradition within the Catholic Church, we invite you to bring your pets for a blessing.  This is done around the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi (his feast day is October 4th). Bring your pet no matter if they run, gallop, crawl, burrow, or fly!  Invite anyone you know who has a pet.  Please be sure your animal is restrained / caged and not roaming freely.   Where:  The Marian Grotto (in the back of the church) Time:  10:00 - 10:20 a.m. Please arrive on time at 10:00 a.m. as it ends when the last pet present is blessed.
