Our furry, feathered and scaly companions make our lives very meaningful. Let’s honour this relationship just as we do the other meaningful relationships in our lives – through a blessing.
To bless is a Christian tradition that is more than an expression of goodwill and caring – it is an act of mediating health, healing and life from God for the benefit of the animal in its relationship with its human companions. Through the act of blessing, we will celebrate our common kinship with all animals!
This is an annual service offered at Fairfield United and James Bay United that is highly anticipated by many community members. Treats and water are offered to calm and focus your pet. Consider bringing a photo of your pet if they cannot physically attend for a blessing.
