He is the patron saint of the environment and animals because he loved all creatures and allegedly preached to even the birds. In recent years, congregations have started to bless pets and other animals as a way to mark this day and honor his spirit. St. Francis was also among his country’s rich and powerful. He was born the son of a prosperous silk merchant. But on a pilgrimage to Rome, he joined the poor in begging at St. Peter's Basilica and went on to live a life of poverty as a friar. You may honor St. Francis by bringing your pets to the church grounds on October 6th at 10:00am to receive a special blessing. All animals are welcome. ———————————— Secular Franciscan: Who Are They?

St. Francis: Patron Saint of Animals
On the liturgical calendar October 4th is the Feast of St. Francis, the day the Church honors a great friar from Assisi, Italy.

In recent years, congregations have started to bless pets and other animals as a way to mark this day and honor his spirit. St. Francis was also among his country’s rich and powerful. He was born the son of a prosperous silk merchant. But on a pilgrimage to Rome, he joined the poor in begging at St. Peter's Basilica and went on to live a life of poverty as a friar.

Next weekend’s special collection will benefit parish education. Thank you for your continued support!
St. Vincent de Paul This Weekend’s Special Collection
“Barbara,” who has young children, was recently diagnosed with stage three breast cancer and is currently going through chemotherapy. Although overwhelmed with worry, she is focused on getting her health back, strug-gling to stay positive despite the pain and discomfort that the treatment causes. Along with prayers and emotional support, the volunteers of St. Vincent de Paul are able to regularly bring her family food because of your kind donations.
County and city public services depend on non-profit or-ganizations such as St. Vincent de Paul to supplement the needs of our neighbors. At St. Vincent de Paul, we depend on year-round monetary donations in order to continue our work with those in need in San Carlos. Tax-deductible monetary support can be donated in many ways, such as contributing in the second collection this weekend. You can also contribute anytime by using the donation boxes located at the entrances to the church, leaving monetary donations at the parish office, or con-tributing online via the St. Vincent de Paul page on our parish website.
If you know of anyone who may need assistance, help can be reached at 650-343-4403. Thank you for your gen-erous support.
As Luke 6:38 states, “Give, and it will be given to you.”

Engage your children and interact about how Mass nurtures our spirits and our lives!
Please have your child pick up a Step by Step (4-7 year old's) or Footprints in Faith (7-12 year old's) Gospel ac-tivity sheet (and a pencil) on the way into Mass. They can solve puzzles, complete searches, and connect to the Gospel message - all in the pew!
Also please pick up a "Mass" Transit Card for your fami-ly. One side summarizes the readings, provides a pray-er and asks a question -- which you can read on your way to Mass (in "Transit"). As a family, you can answer the questions on the back and connect your faith to your everyday lives (on your way home). These resources are available at all Masses in the vestibule closest to the Rectory and in the grand entrance close to the Holy Water font.
Preschool Pray and Play
All families with preschoolers are invited to be a part of Preschool Pray and Play. We gather during the 8:30am Mass on Sundays to share Bible stories, and then we pray and play! If you interested please contact Alison at [email protected] for the participation guide-lines and dates.
