  • Dogs available for adoption

In the United States, October 4 is traditionally celebrated as the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.  Because St. Francis of Assisi is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment, October 4 is a very popular day for pets to be blessed.  All types of pets are welcome to participate in the blessing and for those pet parents who can’t bring your pet, a photo of your pet is encouraged.  All dogs should be on a leash and all cats should be in carriers.

If you are interested in participating as a vendor, please CONTACT US.

If you would like to sponsor the event, please CONTACT US.
