"St. Francis of Assisi Day"

Today Hillside Catholic Academy will celebrate St. Francis of Assisi Day. The students have been encouraged to bring in their stuffed animals and pictures of their pets. Friars from the Franciscan Friary in Newark, New Jersey will come to bless the animals and talk about St. Francis. This type of day is part of the, "faith based environment," at Hillside Catholic Academy.
