St Clement, Tampa, Blessing of the Animals, 2026, Roxy's Coffee, Episcopal Church

Every year, something quietly extraordinary happens at St. Clement’s.

People arrive with dogs, cats, birds, turtles… and stories.

Some come laughing. Some come carrying loss. Some come because their pet is family – because of course they are.

And for a while, everything slows down.

We gather. We bless. We remember that love—especially the kind we share with animals—is not small. It’s part of something bigger.

This year, we’re delighted to welcome back Roxy’s Coffee, who will once again be with us for the day, featuring their special St. Francis Brew—a medium roast created for this celebration and inspired by the joy and companionship animals bring into our lives.

What to expect

  • Pet blessings throughout the day
  • Rescue adoption opportunities
  • Fresh coffee and refreshments
  • A relaxed, welcoming, come-as-you-are atmosphere
