Calling all Bakers... we need your help!
We are busy planning for this year's Bull Roast to be held at Martin's East on Sunday Sept. 12th and we need your help to make the Franciscan Friar's Annual Education Benefit a success. As in the past, we are asking for donations of homemade baked goods and confections, with recipes included if possible, to raffle at our bake table. (Due to summer heat, please no cream frostings!)

If you would like to contribute, please bring your baked good to the Provincial House or the Shrine office on Friday Sept. 10th or Sat. Sept. 11th from 9am.-2pm. For more information please call the Provincial House at 410-531-1400, or the Shrine office at 410-531-2800. Thank you for your support!...

Blessing of Animals
Bring your pets to the piazza in front of the Courtyard for our annual Blessing of Animals. We ask that all pets be on a leash and accompanied by their owner.

Blessing of Pets:
Let us pray: Lord God, in the beginning you pronounced that your created world was good. We ask you to look down and see once again the goodness in these animals which you have given to us in your kindness. May they know your protection from all dangers and bring joy to our hearts. We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Blessing of St. Francis:
May the Lord bless you and keep you,
May He turn His face to you and have mercy on you,
May He look upon you with kindness, and give you His peace.
May the Lord bless you + the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen....

Transitus of St. Francis...from death to new life
The Franciscan Friars and the Secular Franciscans invite you to join them in a candlelight vigil as we remember the passage of St. Francis from this life to glory. Tonight is a night when Franciscans and all who cherish the memory of St. Francis gather to remember and to tell stories. We have a simple story to tell: the story of Francis' transitus, or passage, from this life to eternal life. And we tell the story in the simple and faith-filled words of Thomas of Celano, one of the earliest biographers of Francis. We tell this story to remember our heritage, to renew our Christian faith, and to evoke our Christian hope. The service will begin in the Glassroom and will process around the Courtyard into the Chapel. All are welcome.
