Today is the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. Saint Francis is the saint for whom our Holy Father took his name after. He was known for his rejecting worldly things and lived a life of poverty. Today he is the patron saint of animals and the environment.
Sadly it was announced today that Father Benedict Groeschel C.F.R. passed away at 11pm last night on the eve of Saint Francis. Father Groeschel is known for founding the Community of Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and was a gifted preacher. May he rest in peace!
Finally on the Feast of Saint Francis, Father Carroll would like to formally welcome a new addition to the parish family. Some of the faculty, staff, and students of Saint Patrick School have already had the opportunity to meet her. Her name is Daisy and she is a Dalmatian/Blue Heeler. She is just shy of two years old so still a puppy with a lot of energy. When someone posed the question if Father C. has another curate, he replied quickly "no we have a new Mother Superior."
Many thanks to Ms. Libby for taking these pictures!
