BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS WORSHIP SERVICE

Are you a pet or animal lover? Do you have your own furry or feathered friends at home, or know others with animal companions? Cat and dog, pig and bird, lizard and spider, hamster and fish (in water, please!) — ALL are welcome to join us on Sunday October 1st at 6:00 p.m. during our evening worship for a special Blessing of the Animals service.

This special event commemorates the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, where animals have been blessed since the middle ages. No saint is more closely associated with animals than St. Francis of Assisi. He rejoiced in the value and beauty animals bring to creation.

All pets are welcome to bring their humans, of course! We hope to see you and your furry, feathered, fuzzy, and finny companions October 1st!
