Bring your pet to church this Sunday for a special blessing.

You are warmly invited to our Blessing of the Pets service, held in the tradition of St Francis of Assisi, and concluding our Season of Creation with a focus on animals.

Join us 10am in church or via livestream, bring your pet (or picture) for a blessing.

All pets need to be on lead or in a carrier/cage. Be mindful of others comfort. Remember a bag for any extra ‘offerings’. The service will be in the church as usual and the doors open to easily access outside if needed.
