Blessing of the Animals

• Tuesday, October 4
• 2-3 pm and 5-6:30 pm
• Outside near the church entrance

October 4 is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi. It is also the day we celebrate the bond of love and respect that animals and humans share with each other.

Reverend Jane and Mother Rosean would like to bless all your beloved creatures on this day and will be out front in the church parking lot from with some holy water and words of blessing.

So bring your dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, gerbils, guinea pigs, horses, snakes and even your fish for a sweet, loving, hands-on blessing. Our animal friends are a blessing to us, so it is fitting that once a year we can offer them a blessing as well.

Quality meals for all Colorado kids.

First let the children eat all they want

(Mark7:27 NIV)

This November, Colorado voters can ensure access to free, nutritious meals made with quality ingredients for all students in public schools by voting YES on the Healthy School Meals for All ballot initiative, Prop FF. 

Why Healthy School Meals for All?

• ➢ Eliminates school lunch debt and lunch shaming (40% of students who are currently eligible don’t participate)
• ➢ Removes stigma by ensuring school meals are treated the same way as textbooks and other core educational supports

Supported by 301 Faith Partners Advocacy Group

Please send prayer requests to marymagdalafc@gmail.com. Prayers will be listed for one month unless requested for longer. Prayers for the repose of souls will be listed for six months unless requested for a longer time.
