We’ll gather for our monthly Wild Church and a special Blessing of the Animals!

In honor of Saint Francis, the patron saint of animals and ecology, and someone who considered the creatures (birds, wolves, fish, cattle etc) to be his siblings, we will be blessing animals outdoors! You need not have any religious or church affiliation, just come and bring your companion for a blessing!

Bring your pets all shapes, ages, sizes & abilities. We love them all, so if you think they will be comfortable outdoors at a public park for a short service with lots of space and wandering, please bring them! And if your pet might be a little shy, or overwhelmed, you may bring a photo or picture on your phone for a blessing.

And in the spirit of Wild Church, we will also be blessing that Wild Animals and those creatures that do not live in our homes, so no pets necessary. Just a commitment to honoring the wonderful animals we share this planet with. We hope you will join us!
