Spring Blessing of the Animals 2025

Come take part in a special Blessing of the Animals service! Bring your critter, or a picture of your critter, and Chaplain Andy will provide a blessing for them. It's a great opportunity to see the incredible menagerie of animals existing in the Wilson community. Please keep your animals appropriately contained (leash, cage, etc) and make sure you clean up after them.  There will be a moment of silence for those animals who passed.
