Sunday, October 3, 4pm

Each October, near the Feast Day of St. Francis (Oct. 4) we invite you to bring your pets for a blessing . St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) had the marvelous ability of seeing every living thing as a beautiful gift from God. He called the sun, the moon, and all the creatures of the earth his brothers and sisters. In honor of his feast day, we bless our beloved and faithful friends. This includes a walk through the woods and a short blessing service. If your pet is not able to travel, consider bringing a photo.   

**Physical distancing will be observed, but masks will not be required since it is an outdoor event.  Singing will not be a part of the service.  Bottled water and trail mix will be served as well as treats for dogs.  

​Please bring your own chair for this outdoor event and check our website home page if the weather is questionable.
