Annual Blessing of the Animals - St. Francis Day

Come join us for a special event at St. Francis Episcopal Church where we celebrate the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi by blessing our furry, scaly, and feathered friends! Bring your pets or a picture of your pet for a blessing and enjoy community and fun. All animals are welcome, big or small! Let's honor the patron saint of animals together. See you there!

This special event is free and open to ALL community members of any religious affiliation. On this day, we celebrate the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, our church, and the City of San Francisco. All of God’s creatures are welcome. Pet owners can show appreciation for their pets, make new friends, and share the company of other animals and their owners. You can also help us make treats for the animals at the San Francisco Animal Care and Control. St. Francis’ clergy will bestow individual blessings on every animal in attendance.

The event is outside in our parish courtyard at 11:15AM. If you'd like, please join us with your pet at the 10:00AM service.
