Pet owners everywhere celebrate the birthday of St. Francis of Assisi by having their pets blessed on this feast day in the spirit of this patron saint of animals and ecology.

Bring your pets, or a photo, or even Facetime, to get blessed.  

The Rev. Dr. Jennifer Veninga, Associate Professor of Religious and Theological Studies, and United Church of Christ minister will conduct the blessings.

Please make sure that your pet is controlled and dogs must be leashed.
