Holy Eucharist – St. Francis Day Blessing of the Animals

Come celebrate St. Francis Day! While St. Francis Day is on Friday this year, our Wednesday 5:30 service will include the blessing of the animals outside in the Garden Close.
We’ll say some prayers, hear the story of St. Francis, pray for all creatures, and bless our animals. Bring your four-legged, scaly, or feathery friends for a blessing (leashed or in carriers please). You can also bring photos of animals – even photos of animals who have passed on. And kids can bring stuffed animals for a blessing!
If it rains, we’ll move into the church and have a raucous indoor blessing. Come as you are and stay after for dinner.
