You are invited to bring your pet for a blessing. For the safety of the pets, the owners and everyone attending the 10:00 am service, all animals need to be leashed, tethered or in a cage or carrier. This is a wonderful opportunity to include our 'companions' in our worship.


So that we can be inclusive in our Coffee Hour, water and pet treats will be provided.

Francis of Assisi was pronounced a saint in 1228 by Pope Gregory lX. He is the patron saint of animals and the environment. By blessing our animals on our beautiful campus, we walk in his footsteps. We look forward to seeing you and meeting your pets on October 7th.
