Bring your pets (and/or your allergy meds)! Cats, dogs, rats, hamsters, all of God's creatures are welcome in this special Sunday morning service celebrating St. Francis of Assisi and the wonder of pets and the blessings they continually bestow on us.

(Beloved stuffed animals and pictures of shy animals are welcome too--and we also welcome pets to join from home via Zoom for a special blessing.)

If you can’t make it, here’s a blessing you can share at home, anytime with your beloved pets: 

[Name], May you be blessed 
in the Name God, the Creator, Redeemer and of the Sustainer. 
May you and [names of other family members and pets] 
enjoy life together and find joy with the God who created us all. Amen.

Thanks be to God for the beauty of inter-species community!
