St. Francis Blessing of the Animals and Harvest Blessing

All creatures great and small are invited to receive a blessing in the tradition of St. Francis of Assisi. We will also be blessing the harvest of the Rice Street Community Garden.

Please bring your pets either on a leash or in a carrier. (You may also bring a photo of pets who wouldn't be happy attending a pet blessing.) There will be a brief service followed by individual blessings for each pet.

We will also collect offerings for the Transylvania County Animal Services in the form of cash donations, as well pet food and toys for dogs and cats. (Please make any checks payable to Transylvania County Animal Services)
