Baxter Niedzwiecki waits patiently for his blessing
On Sunday, we celebrated the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the day the Church honors a great friar from Assisi, Italy. He is the patron saint of the environment and animals because he loved all creatures.
At St. Josaphat, we hold our annual Blessing of the Pets as a way to mark this day and honor the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi.

Aid for Women
Baby Bottles
Pick up a baby bottle, help a mother in need.
Aid for Women helps women who are facing difficult, unplanned pregnancies. We’ll be handing out baby bottles after all the Masses the next few weeks to support their good work. Take a bottle, drop your change in it for a few weeks, and return it to the parish by the end of October. The money will help Aid For Women provide material support and counseling services for pregnant women, and assist them in accessing other community services.
