Blessing of the Animals
Wolf & Kettle Statue
Celebrate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi with the University of San Francisco community at our annual Blessing of the Animals.
Join us for 10 a.m. Mass at St. Ignatius Church, which will conclude with a special blessing of the animals. Following Mass, alumni, students, St. Ignatius parishioners, and friends are invited to gather for a reception with light refreshments on Gleeson Plaza.
Bring your beloved pet as we celebrate the special bond between people, animals, and creation. Complimentary USF-branded pet bandanas will be available while supplies last.
