Celebrating the 800th Anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi | Blessing of the Animals ❤️🐾 A paws-itively wonderful day celebrating God’s creatures at the Lourdes Grotto! Thank you to all the students, employees, alumni, and community who brought their pets and favorite stuffed animals to receive a blessing this weekend as we unite for a compassionate and peaceful world. 🫶 May our beloved companions always remind us of God’s love in creation. ✨ #UIW #UIWAlumni #YourJourneyOurMission #GoCardinals #BlessingOfTheAnimals
