Blessing of the Animals

October 4 from 5:30PM – 7PM

In the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and our appreciation for the diverse and wonderful creatures that inhabit God’s Creation, we invite you and your beloved pets to our Annual Blessing of the Animals!

The event takes place on October 4 from 5:30PM – 7PM in our Upper Churchyard at St. John’s. This special gathering is an opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the beauty of all animals, great and small. Whether you have a furry friend, a feathered companion, a scaly sidekick, or even cherished ashes, we welcome them all to receive a heartfelt blessing. All pets must be leashed or safely secured.

Each pet will receive a “Special Gift” and a treat!
