Blessing of the Pets

On October 4, K-2 students and their families brought their favorite furry (or not-so-furry!) friends for the annual Blessing of the Pets service.
Each pet or beloved stuffed animal received a blessing from Lower/Middle School Chaplain Ashley Brandon, Lower/Middle School Assistant Chaplain Father Nathan, or Upper School Chaplain Mother Whitney in honor of St. Francis of Assisi; the patron saint of animals; on the day of his feast. They also received a certificate commemorating the blessing! The Blessing of the Pets is always a delightful way to start the morning, celebrating the love that we have for our animals every day.
