Pet Blessing Ceremony

Catholics bring their pets to receive a blessing for animal lovers and beloved pets at the Buah Batu Catholic Church in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, on October 4, 2025. This tradition of blessing pets is held every October 4 by churches around the world to commemorate St. Francis of Assisi, known as the patron saint of animals, and to reaffirm the Catholic belief that all living creatures, including pets, are entitled to divine blessings and care.
