Blessing of the Animals and Brother Wolf and Sister Sparrow. Circles of Caring Across Species

with Rev Dr. Rob Ross at All Souls Church of Braintree. Enter through ramp door on Charles Street, Braintree

All pets must be leashed or crated. Thank you! 


Brother Wolf and Sister Sparrow. Circles of Caring Across Species

Combines stories of our relationships with animals, both within and outside our lives, and the concept of mutuality of care.


Blessing of the Animals: this will take place during Sunday service. Bring your pets (or pictures of your pets) for this special service.


Blessing of the Animals Service – Tips for the Public


· Please toilet all animals (the ones uncrated) outside before the service


· We will have a designated toileting area and bowls of water


· Small animals (like rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, birds, and very young kittens or pups) are best kept in their crates for safety. All animals must be on leash or in crates.


· People may choose to bring a photo of a pet (living or remembered) to be blessed


· All are reminded not to pet an animal not their own unless OK’d by the pet’s keeper


· Some animals may make noise during hymns or in experiencing the presence of other animals


· During candles of commemoration, people may light a candle for a pet who has died, and later, during Joys and Concerns, if they wish, may share an anecdote about what their pet’s companionship meant to them.


Coffee Hour follows service. All welcome.
