Blessing of the Animals with Joe Krans
With Joseph Krans, OFS
October 5, 2024
Join us for the Blessing of the Animals on October 5th at 10:00 AM at Genesis Spiritual Life Center. This heartfelt celebration honors the special bond we share with our pets and coincides with the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, known for his profound love for all of God’s creation.
We warmly invite you to bring your beloved pets—whether they are furry, feathered, or scaly—to receive a unique blessing during the ceremony. This gathering is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our connection with all living beings and to express gratitude for the joy and companionship our pets bring into our lives.
As we come together, we will celebrate the beauty of creation and our shared responsibility to care for it. This joyful occasion is not just about blessings; it’s a time to appreciate the unique relationships we have with our animal friends and to foster a spirit of love and appreciation for all creatures, great and small. We look forward to sharing this meaningful experience with you and your pets!
