Come join us for TCU’s annual blessing of the animals! This interfaith service is open to all living beings, although we ask that all companion animals who attend be leashed or caged. If your companion would not enjoy coming in person, you are welcome to bring a favorite toy or photo to be blessed instead.

Dr. Mike Slattery, founder of TCU’s Rhino Initiative, will be offering the Reflection, entitled “The Day That Changed My Life.”

You can also learn what TCU students are doing to help out animals; representatives will be tabling at the Blessing from the TCU FrogPACK (People Advocating Critter Kindness). TCU’s feral cat caregivers, Frogs and Cats Together (FACT), will also table at the Blessing.

Please also consider bringing a donation of unopened pet food (for any species) or cash/check to benefit Don’t Forget to Feed Me Pet Food Bank (https://dontforgettofeedme.org). They will also be tabling at the Blessing.

Free and open to the public.

Cosponsored by TCU Office of Religious & Spiritual Life and Human-Animal Relationships minor.
