Parishioners, friends, neighbors, and pets of every description are invited to gather in the church on Wednesday, October 5, at 5:30 p.m. for a brief, beautiful, and potentially chaotic service of prayer, music, and pet blessings. Dinner for all will follow under the tent. Blessings will be available for any live animal you care to bring, as well as for stuffed animals and photographs of absent pets.
