“Then God commanded, “Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds.” Genesis 1:20
Our namesake, St. Francis, is famous for his love of birds and other animals. Please join us to celebrate birds, pets, and all of God’s creation on Saturday, September 30th, as we bless our pets and run through our corner of God’s magnificent creation.
We will have a 5K or 1 mile walk or run, with pet blessings during and after! We will start at St. Francis at 9am. We will run in our neighborhood to a nearby park. Please join us to celebrate our Patron Saint and to have some healthy fun and fellowship.
