The second annual Blessing of the Animals Service will be held Sunday, September 13, at 7:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 1419 Western Ave., in the west parking lot area. A short worship service and pet blessing will be followed by refreshments for our human friends. Come and celebrate God’s goodness and creation, honoring the pets who enrich our lives with their affection and unconditional love.Â
Animal blessing ceremonies to honor our pets are often held in the Fall season on or near the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi (October 4). St. Francis was born in the 12th century and is remembered for his love for animals and nature, and ministry to the sick and the poor.   If you are unable to bring your pet to the service, please bring a photograph or special memory item (collar, leash, etc.) and receive a blessing.
