Blessing of the Animals
October 3 @ 9:00 am – 9:30 am
Join WUMC for a joyful service in honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Bring your furry, feathered, scaled, or even stuffed friends and join us for one of their most joyful traditions—Annual Blessing of the Animals!
Whether they bark, meow, chirp, hop, or slither, all creatures great and small are welcome to receive a special blessing for health, happiness, and many more tail wags (or fin flips) to come.
What to Expect:
- A short outdoor service with individual blessings for each pet
- Treats for pets (and coffee for humans!)
This event is a celebration of the unconditional love and companionship our pets give us every day.
All are welcome—members, friends, neighbors, and anyone who loves animals.
Those whose pets are unable to attend are also welcome to bring a photograph for a blessing in their pet’s honor.
Leashes & Carriers, please:
To keep everyone safe and happy, we kindly ask that pets arrive leashed or in carriers.
