Blessing of the Animals Saturday, 1:30, Berea Tourism Center

Bring your animal buddy, stuffed animal buddy or a photo to the Berea Tourism Center in Old Town tomorrow, to receive a blessing in observance of the Feast of St. Francis, who loved all creation, and is the patron saint of animals and ecology. Rev. Rachel will offer the blessings.

Good St. Francis, Patron Saint of animals, you loved all of God’s creatures.

To you they were brothers and sisters.
Help us to follow your example
of treating every living thing with kindness.

Dear God, watch over and keep my dear companion safe and healthy.
Amen.
