S.M.A.C. - St. Mary Adult Catholics

To celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Animals, S.M.A.C. - St. Mary Adult Catholics hosted an animal blessing on the (front) rectory lawn at St. Mary Catholic Church. The Blessing was celebrated on Saturday, October 4, 2008, at 10:30 am. Members of the community were invited and encouraged to attend! Treats were provided for our four-legged friends. This event was free and open to the public, but anyone wishing to make a donation could do so; the proceeds went to "Save the Wild Side" an organization committed to spaying and neutering the stray cats of German Village to help keep the homeless population down. "Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love." - St. Francis of Assisi.
