2026 Blessing of the Pets

Each year, on a Sunday near the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi (October 4), we celebrate with the blessing of the pets. This year our celebration will fall on Sunday, October 4. We'll gather at 3:00pm in the St. Francis Prayer & Meditation Garden. Please bring your dogs, cats, or any other pets you want (all appropriately leashed or contained) as we celebrate God's blessings in our companion animals. We'll also give thanks and prayers for those companion animals who have died.
