WHLC Front Lawn
The Blessing of the Animals service is in remembrance of St. Francis Assisi’s love for all creatures. St. Francis was born into the family of a wealthy merchant and gave up his inheritance to serve poor people. He had a spirit of gratitude for all of God’s creations, including animals and nature.
Everyone and all pets are welcome! Treats for both humans and pets will be provided following the service. Since the blessing is right before Halloween, feel free to have your pet wear a costume!
