SUMMARY:Blessing of the Animals/Spreading of the Ashes
DESCRIPTION:October 4\, 3:00 pm \nFor more than 15 years St. Augustine’s in the Woods\, 5217 S. Honeymoon Bay Road\, Freeland\, WA has held a Blessing of the Animals event for Whidbey Island as part of our service to our community. As our sign in front of the door to the church affirms “You Are Welcome Here”. October 4th \,we have hosted over 50 people and 28 pets for our celebration of the 800th anniversary of St. Francis’s Feast Day last year. We had animal agencies WAIF\, Oasis\, and Critters & Co. Pet Center and Rescue to provide information and animals to view for those present. This special day was for those who share their lives with animals\, who seek compassion and justice for all who we experience in our world. Afterwards we offered our Spreading of the Ashes service for those whose pets had died. We exceeded our record of ten committals\, which stood for over a decade\, by interning eight dogs and five cats. The ringing of the bell by the columbarium preceded and closed our service. This year we are limiting ashes to ½ cup per animal and need a RSVP (360) 331-4887 or admin@staugustineswhidbey.org.
