Reverend Thomas Sievel of Our Lady Queen of Angels Parish blesses "furry" parishioners yesterday at the Holy Angels Campus. The Blessing of the Animals celebrates the feast of St Francis of Assisi, October 4th. St Francis is known for his obedience to God and simple, deep love for all God’s creatures!
