On Oct. 4, during the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Our Lady of Lourdes pastor Frank Parisi blessed pets from throughout Malverne and surrounding communities. Parisi even blessed Malverne Mel, the village groundhog,
In his homily, Pairsi quipped, “We thought that if we blessed Mel before he goes into hibernation for the winter, he might wake up in a good mood [on Feb. 2] and bless us with a prediction of an early spring.”
