This year’s Pet Blessing Service will be extra special. We’re gathering at beautiful Algonkian Park!
Bring your furry, fuzzy, feathered, or scaly family members and join us outdoors as we celebrate the gift of animals and ask God’s blessing on all creatures great and small.
Held in honor of St. Francis Day (October 4), this joyful tradition is the perfect way to enjoy God’s creation with the whole family—pets included!
