Blessing, pet food collection, 2:00pm Sunday, October 4

Our annual Blessing of the Animals is ON!!!  We'll be celebrating the life and witness of Saint Francis on the actual day of his feast, October 4, though our celebration will be a little different this year.

We'll meet in our cars (with our pets/animal companions) in the North Parking Lot of Saint Philip's for a brief liturgy, with blessing stations set up where cars can pause and a clergy-person can bless (masks will be worn, and hands sanitized between blessings!).  

We'll also be collecting pet food for our friends at the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation to benefit folks in need who are dealing with HIV/AIDS and who are often willing to skip a meal themselves if it means their animal companions can eat.  Bring some pet food!  Bring a pet!  Bring the family!  GET BLESSED!
