It is the conviction of the Orthodox Catholic Christian faith that all creation is Holy. It is said that, “Everything that lives and breathes is sacred and beautiful in the eyes of God.”
We believe it is the responsibility of human beings to love, honor and care for God’s earth, that he created and blessed every creature that swims in its oceans, walks or crawls on its soil or flies in its skies.
For this reason, we set aside time to honor God by Blessing His Animals, which have brought so much joy and happiness and have adorned our lives and the earth.
We set aside two special days for Pet Blessings, the Feast of Saint Anthony January 17th, and the Feast of Saint Francis October 4th..
