Blessing of the Animals October 2015
There are Two Locations for Blessing of the Animals

or
Sunday, October 4 - 5 pm
at St. John's Episcopal Church (side yard — inside if raining)

Everyone is invited to bring your pet(s) to either of the Blessing of the Animals.
There will be a brief service followed by individually blessing of each pet.
If your pet does not play well with others, you may use a carrier or bring a picture of your pet.
Animal blessings are conducted near St. Francis Day because he was
thought to be friendly and accessible to all living creatures.
