Blessing of the Animals, in celebration of the Feast of St. Francis will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday Oct. 6. It will be back into the Cathedral nave, where the blessing was held before the COVID shutdown. You can join us with your beloved pets or a picture of your pet, or bring along your treasured stuffed animals. Please be sure your live pet is on a leash, in a pet carrier, or otherwise in your control. Each pet will receive a bag with a Cathedral bandana and treats.
