Join us on Sunday, Oct. 1, with your beloved pets for a celebration of St. Francis of Assisi! The annual Blessing on the Animals is a special service designed to celebrate the love and companionship found in our relationships with our pets. Bring your winged, furry, and crawling pets for a blessing and reminder of God’s love for all of creation. All pets are welcome, but if your animal doesn’t play well with others you are encouraged to bring a photo for us to bless. Stuffed animals are welcome too! The service will begin right at 4 PM in the Lychgate Garden.
