Join us for the annual Blessing of the Animals next Saturday, Oct. 3rd. This beloved service celebrates the furry, feathered, stuffed, and scaly companions who enrich our lives. Bring your pet for a service and personal blessing inspired by St. Francis, who was well known for his love of nature. This service takes place in the driveway off Stockley Gardens and Boissevain Ave. If your pet does not travel well, or does not play nicely with others, you are welcome to bring a photo to be blessed instead. Stuffed animals are welcome, too!
