Blessing of the Animals is Coming to Saint Bernard Church

A Blessing of the Animals will take place at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 4th, at St. Bernard Church in Rockville.

You are invited to bring your pets for this special blessing in honor of St. Francis of Assisi (whose feast day is October 4th), patron saint of animals.
