The Harvest Moon Community Solutions Festival is a celebration of community victories, voices and solutions, including our steadfast determination to make collective stewardship of the Roof Depot site a reality.

This event is hosted by East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI), in collaboration with Little Earth Protectors, Kalpulli KetzalCoatlicue (Danza Ketzal), Strong Mind Strong Body Foundation’s Community Journalism Program, Cooperative Energy Futures, KRSM Radio, and other local partners.

We will offer a blessing of the animals in Hoversten Chapel on October 2 at 11:50 am. You are invited to bring your pet or emotional support or service animal to chapel that day or send a photo of your pet by September 29 to Janice Dames at dames@augsburg.edu to be included in the slideshow. 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.
