SUMMARY:Blessing of Animals
LOCATION:325 Lawrence Hargrave Dr\, Thirroul NSW 2515
DESCRIPTION:Blessing of Animals, Monday, 6 October at 09:30. As usual, the Blessing of Animals will take place on the Monday of the long weekend, 6 October at 09:30.  The blessing takes place in the courtyard next to the church.  All animals under 800kg and their carers/handlers are welcome, though please keep the larger pythons on a tight leash.  The feast of St Francis of Assisi is on Saturday, 4 October, with a special Mass at 09:30 on Saturday, 4 October – animals are welcome at that Mass.  Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures.  May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation.  We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation.  Care for the earth is not just an Earth Day slogan;  it is a requirement of our faith.  We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God’s creation.  This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and ethical dimensions that cannot be ignored.
