The feast of St Francis of Assisi will be celebrated today at the parish of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Sliema.

The Sliema Band will kick off celebrations with a march from near the Anglican church in Rudolph Street at 9am, making its way to the parish and the Sliema Philharmonic Society club. At 10.30am, the Sliema Band will accompany the procession with the statue of St Francis. At noon, there will be the blessing of animals on the church parvis by Fr Charles Diacono, OFM, followed by the traditional meal, organised by the feast commission at the Sliema band club.
