Blessing of the Animals

Sunday, September 27 | 10:00–11:00 AM | Outdoors at The Quest

Bring your furry, feathered, scaled, or otherwise beloved friends and join us for our Blessing of the Animals!

The Blessing of the Animals is a tradition that celebrates the life and work of St. Francis of Assisi, known for his love of creation and care for animals. While traditionally celebrated in October, The Quest Church will be gathering outdoors on Sunday, September 27, from 10:00–11:00 AM.

All pets and their people are welcome!

For everyone's safety, please make sure your pet is leashed, held, or safely contained in a carrier, crate, or pen throughout the event.

Never participated in a Blessing of the Animals before? Your pet will remain in your care the entire time. One of our Quest leaders will offer a personal blessing over your animal and, with your permission, gently touch their head with water as a traditional sign of blessing in honor of St. Francis.

🐱 Cats
🐰 Rabbits

PLEASE RSVP! Once you RSVP, we'll send you an email asking what kind of pet (or pets!) you'll be bringing.

Come celebrate the animals who bring so much joy, companionship, and love into our lives. ❤️🐾
