The Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, is celebrated each year on October 4. In conjunction with the annual parish pet blessing, St. Catherine of Siena Parish sponsors a pet food and supplies drive. Donations of unopened, non-expired pet food and new pet enrichment toys are collected and distributed to local shelters throughout Mahoning County in honor of St. Francis of Assisi.
For more information, please contact the parish office at 330-758-2325.

The collection will be held in the Narthex at St. Luke and in the Gathering Space at St. Charles from Saturday, September 26 through Sunday, October 4, 2026.
