We are extending our "Celebration of Creation: The Feast of St. Francis" to include an after-service street fair on 13th Street between Locust and Olive. The street will be closed for festivities featuring a pet parade, pet-adoption agencies, paw print paintings, a canine agility course, and treats and refreshments for pets and their humans. For everyone's safety, all animals must be on leashes or in carriers or cages.
