Blessing of the Animals
Bring your pet - dog, cat, chicken, or other - to be blessed on Sunday, October 6, at 5 pm in the Van Every Courtyard. Pets of another denomination or faith, or no faith at all, and step-pets and grand-pets are also welcome! Pictures of pets that don't travel well, so need to be blessed at a distance, and stuffed animals are welcome, too. We will also remember those pets that have died, and photos are welcome. Bring pet food to share with others through NourishUp. We'll have fun raffle prizes.
Invite your fellow animal lovers to join us for this relatively brief service honoring of St. Francis. Holy Comforter is supporting nonprofit Arin's Good Girl Treats with some donated goodies for our guest pups, but folks are invited to donate to help the work of this amazing organization.
