Daily Chapel: Blessing of the Animals

submitted by dames@augsburg.edu

Please join us in Hoversten Chapel at 11:50 am for a blessing of the animals. You are invited to bring your pet or emotional support or service animal to chapel today. On this day, animal life in all its forms is celebrated. October 4 was originally chosen for the blessing of the animals because it is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment.
