Each year on Oct. 4, the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Patrick School’s faculty, students and their families celebrate the "Blessing of the Pets.” This year the celebration was lead by Father Patrick Madden. On this beautiful, sunny afternoon, Madden prayed and blessed all the animals that gathered on the front campus of St. Patrick School. The school is also collecting cans of pet food to be donated to a local shelter; you can drop off your donation at the school office.
