Bring Your Beloved Pets to Be Blessed!
A Franciscan Celebration of Animals, Love & All Creation
Saturday, October 10, 2026 | 10:00 a.m.–Noon
The Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi
3221 S. Lake Drive, St. Francis, WI
St. Francis of Assisi saw all of creation as a gift from God and called the animals his sisters and brothers. Each year, we continue that beautiful Franciscan tradition by welcoming our neighbors and their beloved pets to the grounds of St. Francis Convent for our Annual Blessing of the Pets.
Bring your dog, cat, or other beloved animal companion and join the Sisters for a joyful morning of gratitude, community, and blessing.
Join Us!
10:00 a.m.–Noon
Enjoy a morning on the beautiful convent grounds, meet the Sisters, and bring your pets to receive a special greeting and individual blessing.
10:30 a.m. — Group Blessing
Gather with us for a special blessing of all our animal companions. The group blessing will be livestreamed on Facebook for those who cannot join us in person.
Individual Blessings
Throughout the morning, Sisters will offer individual greetings and blessings for your beloved pets.
Treats for Our Furry Friends!
Every visiting pet will receive a special treat as our way of celebrating the joy and companionship they bring into our lives.
Whether your companion has four legs, feathers, or another special place in your heart, we hope you'll join us!

Come celebrate with us as we give thanks for the animals who bring us so much love, comfort, and joy—and for the beautiful gift of God's creation.
