Today is the Feast of Saint Francis, and thus the traditional day for blessing animals in Roman Catholicism. It's also World Animal Day--a fine occasion for us homo sapiens to reflect on what it means to share a biosphere with about 8.7 million other animal species. Now that online services make it easy for non-human animals to "attend" the service, we will have an online "parade" and bless all the animals in our lives.
Worship Leader: Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern
Special music by Ruth Huber, singer / pianist.
