Join us for our annual blessing of the animals, a time where we can pray as a community over our cats, dogs, hamsters, horses, goats, or any other animals we are blessed to own. We will bless our animals in our park and outside chapel area. All are welcome from the community. Please keep pets on a leash or contained. We ask that everyone maintain social distance and if that’s not possible please wear masks.
Everyone will receive a Saint Francis medal to go on their animals collar.
Blessing of the Animals is a tradition that takes place every year near the time we honor Saint Francis (1181/1182-1226) who is the patron saint of the environment and animals.
“The animals of God's creation inhabit the skies,the earth and the sea. and have a part in human life. We, therefore, invoke God's blessing on these animals. over all the creatures of the earth." Saint Frances.
