Celebrating the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi

 

This year, for Alumni Giving Day on October 4, Sacred Heart Schools is recognizing the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and pets. He is the patron saint of animals because he loved all creatures and allegedly preached to even the birds. In recent years, many congregations have started to bless pets and other animals as a way to mark this day and honor his spirit.

 

As a fun way to bring our generous alumni community together, we ask that along with your gift, please share with us a photo of your beloved pet – in the spirit of Saint Francis.

The first 20 people to submit a photo along with their gift will receive a Sacred Heart bandana for their pet to wear (or play with).

 

We can't wait to share your photos of furry or not-so-furry friends! See you on October 4!
