If you have never worshiped on the lawn on St. Francis Sunday, you really do owe it to yourself to experience the happy chaos of All Saints’ Blessing of the Animals service on the lawn at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 29.

All pets (of all descriptions!) — and their owners — are asked to please arrive no later than 8:45 a.m. to participate in the procession. (Photos or even a stuffed animal also welcome!) All pets are invited to process in the Church and then adjourn to the outdoor worship service on the quad lawn which includes a blessing of animals.
