Tomorrow is the Feast of St Francis Assisi who, as well as being remembered for his generosity to the poor and his willingness to minister to the lepers, is also renowned for his love for animals and nature.

To mark this day, the mission and volunteer teams arranged for Fr Mannes Tellis OP to bless the pet therapy dogs who work with their handlers to bring joy to our patients, staff, and visitors.

It was a lovely gathering in the chapel garden, where the furry guests of honour enjoyed some home-made treats while others tucked in to a delicious morning tea.

We sincerely thank and acknowledge the special work of Donnie, Janey, Alaska, Phaedra, Cherry, Lotte, Trixie, and those who weren’t able to attend the blessing – Addie, Jet, Cheechy, Lyric, Gracie and Jaspa; along with their dedicated two-legged helpers.

'Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures.
You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air, and animals on the land.
You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters.
We ask you to bless this pet.
By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan.
May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation.'

Today Pet Therapy dog Cherry visited patients and staff for the first time, after having passed her final accreditation last week with experienced handler Sandra. It also happens to be Cherry’s birthday, so she was more than happy to spend her special day getting extra cuddles (and a pupuccino later, we hear!)

On her travels, Cherry visited the Hospice where she was welcomed by patients and staff including Alison, who has just been appointed as the new Clinical Manager. Ali has been with Calvary North Adelaide Hospital as our Nurse Educator since 2024, and she brings with her extensive oncology and palliative care nursing experience.

We wish both Cherry and Ali long and happy tenures in their new roles!

Perfect weather today as we marked R U OK? Day with a delicious BBQ lunch, cooked and served to staff, specialists, and volunteers by members of the hospitality, executive, and management teams.

Life is full of ups and downs, so it’s important to check in with those around us and ask R U OK? any day of the year.

You don’t need to be an expert, just a good friend and listener.
Some steps that might help have that conversation:

- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in

A big thank you to Mrs Pitt's Year 3/4 Class at St Monica's Parish School, Walkerville, for showcasing their beautiful 'Perspectives and Storytelling' artwork for our patients and visitors to enjoy.

The class were inspired by the school mural created by Aboriginal artist Pat Caruso. Students gathered symbols from the artwork that represent community, connection, and coming together. Using these traditional symbols, each student created their own story, reflecting on the theme of Reconciliation and what it means to walk together in respect and unity.
