In the conference center, there are several events each year that I recorded. Those events include Mormon Tabernacle choir concerts and the twice yearly Mormon general conference. On those events, you were not allowed to sit in the main area with your service dog. You will either have to leave or sit in the room apart from everybody else. The Mormon Church also has temples in which different ordinances such as baptisms for the dead and temple marriages are performed. You're not allowed to bring your service dog into the Mormon Temple. On a positive note, you are allowed to bring your service animal to church meetings in Mormon meeting houses.

But, this is Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic church and because that Saint loved animals, I'm not really surprised that she is so welcome. Actually, we've been in other churches and had no issues iether.

>> Hi everyone! On a previous thread, we have been talking about the experiences of people with service dogs and churches. In particular, I have talked about my experience with the Mormon church, or Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints, and their policies towards service animals. I am curious what other people's experiences have been have you had positive experiences? What have they been like? Have you had negative experiences? How have you dealt with them? I look forward to any replies to this topic!
