BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS All creatures great and small are invited with their people for a short service of blessing, held each year near the Feast of Saint Francis, patron saint of animals and the environment. Your furry, spiky, scaled, and feathered friends are welcomed. Blessing of the Animals takes place around October 4th each year, which is the day St. Francis is remembered by the church. |

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS Join the festivities throughout the Borough on this wonderfully joy-filled day. At the church, with our building partner Park Avenue Community Center, we open up our doors for cookie decorating, crafting, story-time, s'mores on the lawn, singing, dancing, and more! In the evening, we sing carols and welcome Santa Claus as he arrives to light the town tree, which is located on our front lawn. Its fun for all ages!!! |
