Team Spiritual Care: Annual Blessing of Pets

St. Francis Day is Thursday, October 4th. St. Francis of Assisi is the Founder of the all Franciscan Congregations of Religious Men and Women who follow the Rule of St. Francis of Assisi. The Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Ohio are part of that tradition as are the Franciscan Friars of St. John the Baptist Cincinnati Province. It is a very special day of celebration for all Franciscans across the world. Unlike many other Religious Founders, Franciscans comprise three Orders or groups: Religious Brothers and Priests, the Order of Poor Clare Sisters, and Third Order Franciscans who are many up of either Secular Franciscans or Franciscan Brothers, Priests and Sisters who are not a part of the First Order. As you can see, Franciscans are a very large family. At 6PM on St. Francis Day the Annual Blessing of Pets with occur in St. E’s Garden on St. Leo-nard Campus. Please join us as we celebrate and bless God’s won-derful creatures that are animated and a blessing to their owners.
