Every year on the Sunday closest to October 4th, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi*, many people of faith around the world participate in events where animals are blessed.
We will celebrate a blessing of pets on Sunday, October 2nd, in the in-person and online worship services.
Please send the name and a photo of your pet by Thursday, September 29th, to [email protected] to be included in the online service.
*St. Francis of Assisi lived a life of simplicity, charity and humility in the 13thcentury. He is remembered as a champion of justice and lover of animals.
