This week we celebrate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Tradition tells us that St. Francis had a special love of animals and viewed them as unique wonders of God’s creation. So, in many parishes, including Becket, it is customary to bless pets at this time of year. Bring any and all of your pets for this year’s annual blessing on Friday, October 4th at 6:30 PM. The blessing takes place on the grass at the south entrance to the church.
