ANNUAL BLESSING OF ANIMALS
To commemorate the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, St. William's Annual Blessing of the Animals will be held on Ssaturday, October 7th at 10 AM, on the parish lawn by the Blessed Mother's Prayer Garden (if raining we will move inside). All are invited to bring your beloved pets and animals for a blessing. Please invite your friends and neighbors, even if they are not members of our parish.
Join us as we thank God for His gift of the beautiful creatures that share our lives and bring joy and delight to our hearts.
We are a Roman Catholic Parish located in Howell, NJ, within the Diocese of Trenton.
We are a welcoming Catholic community, led by the Holy Spirit, are called to proclaim, and to witness to, the Good News of Salvation, so that we may grow together, among all generations, and advance the Kingdom of God, in our love and service of God and neighbor.
"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence... The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say, but what God says to us and through us." Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta
