SJGS families, come celebrate the Feast of St. Francis, patron saint of animals, with a pet blessing on Tuesday, October 3, at 8:10am. Bring your family pet to the blacktop courtyard outside the main school doors. Children will begin school as usual at 7:55am. They will then dismiss to the courtyard with their class to meet you and your pet for a special blessing from Fr. Dan. If your child’s pet can’t be here, feel free to send a picture of the pet with your child! Parking for this event is available in the parish’s North Lot across LaSalle from the church.
