A Harvard Community Blessing of the Animals

Join us for a Harvard Community Blessing of the Animals, held outdoors on the Harvard Common and hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Church and the Congregational Church of Harvard.

Bring your crowd-friendly, furry, feathered, or scaly family member (or a photo is fine!), whether living or remembered. Stuffed animals are welcome, too!

Kids will help lead us with songs, readings, and interactive moments of blessing. In the spirit of St. Francis, the patron saint of animals, we’ll gather to celebrate the creatures who share our lives. And stick around for cider and donuts.

All are welcome to this joyful celebration of love, life, and the bonds we share with all beings.
