Community Blessing of the Animals

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church will hold their annual community Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, October 4 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. There will be a brief liturgy of prayers and readings followed by individual blessings for each pet, as well as prayers offered for any families whose pets have died. Blessings will also be offered throughout that time for anyone unable to attend the opening liturgy. This is a great opportunity to give thanks for the wonderful members of creation who bless our lives and share their love with us. The community is invited and all pets and their families are most welcomed. For more information contact the Parish Office at [email protected] or (434) 525-5511.
