Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi

Blessing of the Animals –
Thurs., Oct. 4^th, 2012
6:00 pm

Vancouver Catholic Worker’s
Samaritan House

1143 E. Pender St.,
Vancouver

The blessing of each animal, by name, means that health, healing and life are being mediated from God for the benefit of the animal in its relationship with its human partners.   The blessing is not to reinforce the separation of human animals and other animals. Instead, we are reinforcing our common kinship by blessing ALL animals--human and otherwise.

All are welcome
whether they have
no legs or many.
