We’re thrilled to have Fr. George joining us for the Blessing of the Animals on Friday, October 4th! We will begin at 12:30 pm. Whether your child brings their beloved pet—real or stuffed—Fr. George will offer a special blessing for all. It’s a beautiful tradition to honor St. Francis of Assisi and celebrate the special bond we share with our pets. Don’t forget to check ClassDojo for the final details, and we look forward to seeing you there! All are welcome!
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (Prayer for Peace)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
