We invite our San Angelo and Concho Valley neighbors—and their beloved pets!—to our annual Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at 10:30 AM. Held in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, this special outdoor service celebrates God's creation and the companion animals who bring joy to our lives.

• When: Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM.
• Where: emmanuel-sa grounds at 3 S Randolph St, San Angelo, TX.
• Who: All are welcome, including military families stationed at Goodfellow AFB and local seekers looking for a warm, pet-friendly faith community. Please ensure all pets are safely leashed or securely in carriers.

For those new to the Episcopal tradition, this is a wonderful, relaxed opportunity to visit our historic parish, meet our clergy, and experience our hospitality. If you cannot bring a pet, you are still warmly invited to worship, witness, and share in this joyful celebration of community.
