In conjunction with the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Ascension of Our Lords Priest Father Walter held the Pet Blessing on Thursday at 4 p.m. on the back porch of the school.

Donna Gommel had a surprise visit from her two daughters, son-in-law and her grand pups for her birthday.

“This was a awesome surprise and getting to be a part of the blessing with the pups was the best gift,” Gommel said.
