The Blessing of Animals
← Back to CalendarThe Cloister Garden
We remember St. Francis by blessing animals — they are all part of God’s creation. We are blessing creation itself, and the animals represent that!8:45 a.m.: Animals join us for Festival Eucharist in the Cathedral.
10:10 a.m.: Clergy bless animals in the Cloister Garden.
If your animal does not travel well or get along with others, bring a photograph or a stuffed animal to be blessed instead.
