Blessing of the Animals – Feast of St. Francis

Join us for the Blessing of the Animals on Sunday Oct. 5 @ 2:30 PM.

Please bring your household pets (stuffies too) down to Holy Trinity for the annual Blessing of the Animals in celebration of the Feast of St. Francis.  All are Welcome!

O Lord, who has looked upon all of his creation and declared that it was good, we thank you for the animals, with whom we share this earth, and particularly for those that you have given into our care. We pray that you will guard them and tend to their necessities, relieve their suffering, protect them from exploitation, and let each of us see in them the beauty and glory of your creative hand. As you raised your servant Francis to declare the oneness of all your work, give us gentle spirits, and help us to be instruments of your loving providence, that we all may abound in your glory. Amen.
