Blessing of the Animals 🐾
October 4 @ 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm
We invite you, your family, and your beloved pets to join us for our Blessing of the Animals ceremony! Bring your dogs, cats, birds, or any other animal companions to receive a special blessing as we give thanks for the joy, companionship, and love they bring into our lives. ❤️
This celebration also invites us to reflect on stewardship—not simply as caring for what we have, but as faithfully tending the people, animals, and beautiful world God has entrusted to us.
We will gather in the East Garden at 1:00 PM for a short ceremony and an opportunity for each animal to receive an individual blessing.
🐶 🐱 🐰 🐦 🐴 All creatures are welcome! Please bring your pets safely restrained or contained as appropriate. If your animal companion cannot join us in person, you are welcome to bring a photo or simply bring them in your heart.
“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace…” — St. Francis of Assisi
We hope to see you and your furry, feathered, or four-legged friends this Sunday!
