Bring your cats, dogs, gerbils, and other pets.  We will gather outside for a brief service of appreciation for all animals and then a blessing of each animal.  All animals need to be in a crate, on a leash, or otherwise contained.  Or you can just bring a picture of your pet to be blessed. You are also invited to bring a picture or memento of a departed pet for blessing. And of course stuffed animals are welcome.
