Description
It is
important to give family and friends the opportunity to celebrate God’s
creation of the animals of the air, sea, and land each year and recognize St.
Francis of Assisi’s role as Patron Saint of animals and the natural environment.
This Blessing of the Animals Milestone
Moment supports the important experience of celebrating around October 4th
each year a blessing of the animals, whether in a faith community setting or at
home to remind us of God’s creation and gift of animals.
The love
between a person and their pet is like no other and the opportunity to
recognize this special relationship is embraced by all ages. This milestone
moment encourages reflection and caring discussion about protecting animals and
our environment and a blessing to use with your pet/s.
This Milestone Moment includes the Four Keys for practicing faith outline
which encourages growing in our faith by recognizing the home and family
gatherings as church, too. A simple five-step structure is also included to
establish a solid base for faith formation.
These pottery Blessing
Animals Stone for Gifting are individually hand-crafted and available at a low
cost to purchase and gift as meaningful reminders of this Milestone Moment.
They are wonderful keepsakes to remind us of God’s gift of our pets that
provide us with love and companionship throughout the year.
