The Blessing of the Animals and A Liturgy for Creation celebrating the Feast of St. Francis. Sunday, October 2, 4 p.m. in the St. B’s Garden. This year we are expanding our annual Animal Blessing to include prayers and praise for all of creation. All creatures welcome (crated or leashed, please) as well as those who simply enjoy the beauty of the earth. This is a great opportunity to bring a neighbor or friend.
