Blessing of the Animals

• Tuesday, October 4
• 2-3 pm and 5-6:30 pm
• Outside near the church entrance

October 4 is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi. It is also the day we celebrate the bond of love and respect that animals and humans share with each other.

Reverend Jane and Mother Rosean would like to bless all your beloved creatures on this day and will be out front in the church parking lot from with some holy water and words of blessing.

So bring your dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, gerbils, guinea pigs, horses, snakes and even your fish for a sweet, loving, hands-on blessing. Our animal friends are a blessing to us, so it is fitting that once a year we can offer them a blessing as well.
