Happy feast of St. Francis! The @franciscansisters

Happy feast of St. Francis! The @franciscansisterslf_mn celebrated the life and legacy of their patron, St. Francis of Assisi, Oct. 4 by hosting a Blessing of the Animals. @bishoppatricknearycsc joined them for a special Mass and lunch before the blessing, which is held annually to honor Francis, the patron saint of animals and all creation. The outdoor event, held on the front lawn of the motherhouse, welcomed several dogs, a few cats and one turtle for an individual blessing during the service. #stfrancisofassisi #careforcreation
