In celebration of St. Francis of Assisi, who was known for his love of animals, OSF HealthCare St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group will be hosting a special blessing just for pets open to the community. The Blessing of Animals will take place on Sunday, October 6, between 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
Hospital Chaplain, Father Robb Jurkovich, will bless the animals.
The event will take place in the field area just past the Chaplain’s home, located across from the Serenity Garden.
Participants are asked to park in the hospital visitor parking lot and walk to the area.
There are some limited parking spots across from the garden that are reserved for those with accessibility challenges.We ask that all pets be brought on a leash or in a carrier.
