On October 4, the feast of St Francis of Asssi, St Elizabeth hosted a Care for Creation service in the Fr Al Fritsch Garden on church grounds. Several parish members and members of the Herb Club ,a long time group that meets monthly at St Elizabeth, attended. Brother John and his family from St Mark Church in Richmond also attended. Brother John and Fr Enrique Montoya conducted a beautiful ceremony honoring the natural elements of Water, Wind, Fire and Earth using the prayers and blessings of St Francis of Assisi fashioned from his beautiful prayer “The Canticle of the Sun” . We gave thanks for the abundance of the Earth and God’s holy creative gifts. A wonderful meal and fellowship followed in the church hall.
