Pets receive blessings at St. Francis Borgia
Father Greg Wojcik, administrator, and Father Joseph Mulcrone, resident, bless pets in celebration of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi at St. Francis Borgia Parish, 8033 W. Addison St., on Oct. 4, 2021. Oct. 4 marks the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. To commemorate this observance, more than 110 Archdiocese of Chicago parishes and shrines hosted outdoor pet blessings. (Cynthia Flores-Mocarski/INSPIR3D Photography)
