Held in early October every year, many faith communities bless their pets and other animals around the feast day of St. Francis. At Augustana, the tradition of the pet blessing goes back at least three decades. The Augustana Mirror wrote about the third annual pet blessing in 1995 with a headline that read, “Animals ‘flock’ to pet blessing.”
