Bring your dogs, cats, birds, and other furry and scaly friends to St. Anthony of Padua for the annual Blessing of the Pets!
In recognition of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, all are welcome to gather with their pets to receive a blessing from the Franciscans. The blessing takes place in front of the friary at St. Anthony located near the corner of Meramec Street and Compton Avenue. Please make sure to keep your pets leashed or in a carrier.
