FEAST OF ST. FRANCIS — The church blesses animals on October 4, the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and the environment. “Francis knew what we are only now discovering,” writes Joan Chittister, OSB. “In our time, the science that separated us from nature is now declaring that animals, too, have intelligence, have emotions, have needs like ours."
