FEAST OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI CELEBRATION AT MARY QUEEN

The Mary Queen Sustainability Ministry is hosting the annual Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, on Saturday morning, October 13th, from 10:00 - 11:15 AM, on the grounds behind the church. This event will include light refreshments, education tables and the annual Blessing of the Animals. Bring your pet to be blessed!

St. Francis is the Catholic Church patron saint of ecology, and he stands as a constant reminder that we should all be good stewards of the planet Earth, and preserve the environment for future generations. This year we will also honor St. Kateri Tekakwitha, a Native American Saint who also loved animals and nature, and has been recognized as setting a positive environmental example for all of us.

NEW THIS YEAR! An Electric sedan with a 300 mile driving range will be on display for people to view and sit in. Come check out this new technology to reduce air pollution and care for God's Creation.

Recycle bins for small electronics will be in the Parish Center Hallway during the weeks prior to the celebration.
