Animal Blessing
On Sunday, 5th October 2025, at 9:30 a.m. the traditional “Animal Blessing” will take place in the Parish of St. Peter in Linz/Austria.
Once again it will be possible for all animal owners from around the world to take part in our animal blessing by sending a picture of their pet with its name on the back to our parish by mail or e-mail: pfarrer.zeiger@gmail.com
We will post the pictures on a wall at our animal blessing and the pictured pets will be blessed as part of our ceremony. They will take part in our animal blessing from afar as we ask for God’s blessing on the intercession of St. Francis. A world-wide participation is therefore possible!
Prayer and blessing know no boundaries and encompass the whole world!
“Thank you, little light!“
Due to numerous requests, we will have again a special area on our wall entitled “Thank you, little light” — Pets, that have accompanied us for a part of our life’s journey. There will be room for pictures of pets, that have passed away and that we want to think of lovingly on this day.
As in the past, participation is of course completely without cost!
You can see pictures from the celebration of our animal blessing on our Homepage on or around October 7th .
We would be very happy if you sent us a picture of your pet again this year and told your friends about our activity.
With “friend of animals” greetings and blessings from Linz – St. Peter —
Yours,
Franz Zeiger, Parish Priest
