Celebrate with us Blessing of the Animals, a beloved tradition that brings together our community each year in celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and all creation.
This meaningful service invites people of all ages to bring their pets to receive a blessing as we give thanks for the special role animals play in our lives and in God’s creation.
A joyful celebration that brings our neighbourhood together, full of wagging tails, warm hearts, and the shared love of God’s creatures.
