Did you know that Saint Francis of Assisi is considered the Patron Saint of Animals and the special day (known as a Feast Day) that reflects his love and care for animals and the environment is October 4? A special way to show your love for God and creation, as well as your pet or animal, is to have your pets and animals blessed.

Again this year, we are partnering with the Episcopal Church of Wise County to offer the entire community a Blessing of the Animals. This will occur with a brief ceremony at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 7, 2017, at the Episcopal Church of Wise County (905 S. Church St).

Blessings will continue to be offered to animals throughout the rest of the morning (until noon) for those who bring their animals to the location. Please keep your dogs on leashes and cats in pet carriers. Large animals are welcome also!
