There will be a sign-up sheet available starting the first Sunday in September. There will be a place to enter your name and how many in your family will be attending the luncheon.

Some contest rules:
- Item entered must be made at home, not store bought.
- Item must be placed in a non-descript container. ( ie: a container that no one at church will recognize as yours, or have your name attached anywhere.)
- Keep the identity of your dessert to yourself so everyone has an even chance.
- * THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE! HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!*

Bring your canine, feline, and more to our Blessing of the Animals.
Sunday, October 6, 2024

There is a special love between a pet and their owner that is a gift from God. St. Francis of Assisi, who loved all God’s creatures, was known for blessing animals and in honor of that tradition we are going to have a “Blessing of the Animals” on Sunday, Oct. 6, from 2-4 p.m.. Friends and neighbors are encouraged to bring their personal or family pets to share God’s blessing with them. Rev. Sue and friends will bestow a blessing on your pet. Special treats will be provided by students from New Albany High School.
Important guidelines to keep in mind:

Important guidelines to keep in mind:
- All dogs must be on leashes and other pets (cats, rabbits, reptiles, etc.) must be in carriers.
- If your pet does not like large groups of people, show your pet some consideration and keep it home.
- Remember to pick up after your dog just as you would at any other time.
- Children without pets may feel left out – they are encouraged to bring stuffed animals to be blessed!
- Tell your friends and family and make it an extra special day for you and your pet!
