St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and peace. He embraced a life of simplicity, prayer, and love for all of God’s creatures, reminding us to see the face of Christ in everyone and everything. Bring your pets after Mass to the church entrance for a special prayer and blessing — a joyful way to honor God’s creation and ask His care for our beloved companions.
