12:00 PM – Blessing of the Animals
Join us in the Common Room yard for a pet-friendly service open to people of all faiths. Bring your pets—dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, or even a beloved stuffed animal—to receive a special blessing. Enjoy live music during the service as we celebrate the joy of God’s creation. This is a wonderful opportunity to honor your furry, feathered, or scaly companions while connecting with your community.

Tom Kitten and Friends Rescue, a local pet adoption organization, will be on-site with adoptable cats ready to meet their new families. Come see these friendly felines and apply to bring one home! The rescue is also urgently seeking foster parents to socialize kittens for adoption—help make a difference as the winter winds approach. All Saints Episcopal Church is proud to support this effort and help place kittens in loving forever homes.
