Join us as we celebrate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi which honors the special role animals play in peoples’ lives. Conducted in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi's love for all creatures, a procession of animals, from dogs and cats to hamsters and even horses, are welcome. Deacon Joseph A. Pecko of Church of Our Saviour, Cocoa Beach, will officiate this special ceremony called the Blessing of the Animals, on Sunday, 10/06/24, 1:00 p.m., at Myrt Tharpe Square (Gazebo), in Historic Cocoa Village.Pet photos with Deacon Pecko will be taken immediately following the group blessings ($5 donation). All donations will benefit the Florida Wildlife Hospital, Palm Shores, Florida, a nonprofit organization dedicated to Florida’s wildlife in need. Since 1973, Florida Wildlife Hospital has rescued, rehabilitated, and released thousands of sick, injured, and orphaned animals in Brevard County. Special ambassadors from the Florida Wildlife Hospital will be in attendance for a unique meet-and-greet. These animals are permanent residents of the hospital that could not be released into the wild.
All pets are welcome on a leash, or in appropriate carriers, and must have current vaccinations and county tags for the safety of our animals and friends.
