The Bishop Visits

Today the church celebrated the Feast of St. Francis (the official date was yesterday, October 4th). Coincidentally it was also the date of Bishop Austin Rios' biennial visit to our Foster City parish.

After reflecting on Francis' life of service, the Bishop greeted the beloved animals of the parish as they were brought to him for a blessing.

As two-legged and four-legged creatures mingled during an informal lunch, the tribulations of the world were forgotten.
