Blessing for all God’s creatures at Worcester Cathedral.
All creatures great and small – and their humans – will gather in Worcester Cathedral on Saturday August 22nd for a service of celebration for all our pets and animal companions.
Worcester Cathedral Pet Service, Saturday 22nd August 11 am
This year the Cathedral would like to extend a special welcome to serving or retired working animals.
Canon Kimberly Bohan will be conducting the service and she said,
“Animals make such a difference in our lives; they are part of our families, there for us in good times and bad and give us unconditional love. Many people take great pleasure in the companionship of a pet, and they can bring great comfort to their humans.
“We look forward to taking a moment to give thanks and praise for all of our beloved animal friends.”
The service starts at 11am and will last roughly 30 minutes. The Cathedral asks that the congregation is seated (SIT!!) by 10.45am.
All creatures, great and small, are welcome (with a well-behaved owner!). And those who wish to attend without a pet are warmly welcome too; there will be additional seating for human worshippers, as well as an area for smaller pets.
