All creatures, great and small, are welcome! In celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, we invite you to bring your beloved pets to a special Service of Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 pm in Silkensen Park. Rev. Brian Brock will preside and the congregation of Central Presbyterian Church will join us.

Whether furry, feathered, or scaled, pets of all kinds are welcome to receive a blessing and a prayer of thanksgiving for the joy they bring to our lives.

This is a wonderful opportunity to invite friends, neighbors, and fellow animal lovers to join in a joyful celebration of God's creation. Children are especially encouraged to participate and share in the family-friendly tradition.

Come and celebrate the gift of our animal companions - all are welcome!

Please bring your animals on leashes or in appropriate carriers. For those with shy or special-needs pets, you are welcome to bring a photo or stuffed animal to be blessed in their honor.
