Blessing of the Animals

Celebrating the Bond Between Humans and Animals

Each October, the Borrego Ministers Association (BMA) hosts the annual Blessing of the Animals, a cherished tradition where pets of all shapes and sizes, along with their human companions, receive a special blessing. Rooted in the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi, this ceremony celebrates the deep connection between humans and animals, highlighting our shared responsibility to care for all of God’s creatures.



The BMA, a coalition of local churches and community leaders, is committed to fostering unity and addressing the spiritual needs of the Borrego Springs community. Events like the Blessing of the Animals provide an inclusive, joyful opportunity for residents and visitors alike to come together, celebrate the companionship animals provide, and strengthen the bonds within the community.


Whether you're a local or visiting the area, all are welcome to bring their pets for a heartfelt blessing.
