Bring your well-behaved, vaccinated pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals, or even a photograph or stuffed toy to represent them, to be blessed by Rev. Richard Held and our USC Prayer Chaplains.
Matthew will sing the "GoD and DoG" song by Wendy J. Francisco. Hear it now on youtube.com, https://youtu.be/H17edn_RZoY?si=s0_uaaQlUI6hcZ0r.
The Blessing is free and will take place at 11 a.m.
Before and after the Blessing, our Reiki team will offer pet healings.
Our YFM group will have a booth for refreshments and snacks. They will offer homemade pet treats, lemonade, popcorn and snacks. Everything is just one dollar each!
We welcome St. Francis! He will be walking the grounds. Feel free to ask him to take a photo with you and your pets! It's free!
Pet paw prints will be available for $2 a print.
We will be accepting donations of pet food, gently used blankets, etc. Donations will benefit the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter and the Stay-A-While Cat Shelter.
