Numen Lumen: A Thursday Inspiration
Speaker: Father Gerry Waterman
Music: Michelle Warshany ’14 and Austin Pederson ’16
In honor of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, friend of all things living and patron of ecology, the annual Blessing of Animals will be held on Thursday, Oct. 3, outside Numen Lumen Pavilion at 9:50 a.m. In case the weather is uncooperative, we will meet under the covered portico in front of the Numen Lumen Pavilion.
Please consider bringing your live pets, virtual pets, stuffed animals, photos of pets (on prints or phones), for this special service!
Our pets bless us with their presence and companionship. This remembrance and blessing is an opportunity to celebrate our pets for who they are and what they mean to us. All are welcome!
Numen Lumen is a time and space to take a break from the busyness of the week and refresh the spirit. A member of the Elon community or a guest speaker offers a time of reflection and inspiration.
Make plans to pause for a few minutes each Thursday morning from 9:50-10:20 in the Numen Lumen Pavilion for presentations by faculty, staff, guest speakers and students, complimented by live music offered by talented student and faculty musicians. Refreshments and time for conversations follow each Thursday inspiration.
