Meanwhile, in the city across the Bay named for the Poverello, tomorrow'll see the dedication of the "stone-for-stone" replica of the Portiuncula of Assisi at the National Shrine of St Francis.

And with St Francis Day close at hand, the rest of the world might just bless animals this time of year... but in The City -- no joke -- they bless the taxis, too.
