Got pets? We bless! St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will hold its annual Blessing of the Animals service on Sunday, October 4, at 12:00 noon in the Memorial Garden in front of the church, in celebration of St. Francis’s Day.
All God’s Creatures—two-legged, four-legged, finned or feathered, even stuffed—are welcome! We will gather at noon in the garden for a brief (10 minute) service of prayer and song, followed by individual pet blessings.
Those who have lost a pet in the past year, or wish to remember a pet from years ago are welcome to bring a picture or other keepsake for a blessing.
For more information about the service, please contact the parish office at 781-275-8262 or [email protected].
