The bond between person and pet is like no other. Since we bless God for our creation at church, it’s no wonder we enjoy the opportunity to bring our pets to church for a special blessing. Please bring your pet(s) leashed or otherwise contained to this special service, inspired by St. Francis’ love for all creatures. Goodies for humans and pets alike will be available after the brief service.
