All Pets & Their Human Companions Warmly Welcome

To celebrate the 800th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi’s passing, the Cathedral is reimagining this popular tradition and will debut the breathtaking Gaia.

While the formal procession of animals will no longer be part of the service, all pets and their human companions are warmly welcome inside the Cathedral for this historic celebration of creation.

Passes for the service, which begins at 10:30am, are not required. Pet Blessings will begin outside as soon as the service has concluded, at approximately 12pm.

The video will be available on this page and on the Cathedral’s YouTube channel.
