Blessing of The Animals

2:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014

Each year in October, many Catholic churches sponsor a “Blessing of the Animals” service, to honor the memory of St. Francis of Assisi and to continue his work of respecting and caring for animals. Many Unitarian Universalist congregations also hold a blessing of the animals. Tapestry, a Unitarian Universalist Congregation, invites you to participate in our own ceremony.
