Blessing of the Animals Saturday at St. Justin’s

A blessing of the animals service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, at St. Justin’s Episcopal Church, 977 W. Hwy. 243.

The event is sponsored by the St. Justin’s Episcopal Church.

All creatures great or small are invited to receive a special prayer in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.  Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, turtles, fish and more are invited.  Bring a pet on leash, lead, bowl, or in a crate to this service just for them.  All pets must be up to date on vaccinations, organizers said.

CLAW members will be available to answer questions regarding membership in the organization, fostering animals and adoptions.
