Blessing of the Pets 2025

The Parish Family 14 Francis of Assisi ministry invites you to bring your pet to the St. John schoolyard on Sunday, October 12, for a blessing. Father Parrish will bless pets between Noon-12:30 pm.

Please note that we anticipate animals of all sizes and types, and we don’t wish any to be harmed. Thus, we require all dogs to either be leashed or carried in a secure dog carrier. In addition, all other animals (e.g., cats, birds, hamsters, snakes, etc.) need to be brought to the schoolyard in a secure carrier.

If you can’t bring your pet in a secure carrier or if you can’t control your leashed dog, please leave your pet at home and bring a photo for Father Parrish to bless.
