About the Event
It's time for one of our favorite services of the year! The annual Blessing of the Animals is next Wednesday, Oct. 5th in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. Join us at 5:30 PM in the Memorial Garden with your furry, scaly, and winged friends and we'll say a blessing over them as a way to honor their loving roles in in our lives. Â Â
All pets are welcome! If your pet doesn't travel well, or if your pet doesn't play nice with others, feel free to bring a picture for us to bless. Stuffed animals are welcome too! Â Â
Our regular Wednesday Night Supper will take place after the service, starting at 6 PM. Supper is $8/person or $25/family. The courtyard will be open for outside dinning to accommodate our animal attendees.
