Blessing of

the Animals

October 1st

12 PM

Corpus Christi Lawn

Pet owners are invited to bring their leashed dog, cat, reptile, or caged birds and bunnies for a blessing in celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.

The sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be celebrated at a special Mass at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 at St. Mary’s Church, Crescent for our network parishes of All Saints on the Hudson, Corpus Christi, St. Edward’s, and St. Mary’s, Crescent.. The sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick provides strength and peace to those who are experiencing illness, advanced age, suffering of body, mind and/or spirit, or preparing for surgery. We invite you to join with us in this communal celebration.

A light lunch will follow Mass in the parish hall, providing an opportunity to socialize among both our active and homebound parishioners of the network churches
