October 3, 4:00-5:00 pm | Central Park Pavilion
In honor of the Feast of St. Francis, patron saint of animals, we take time to bless the beloved animal companions in our lives. Drop by and join us in Central Park with your furry (or feathered, scaled, or otherwise clad) animal friends for a special blessing. Stuffies and pet photos are also welcome for the blessing. And there will be treats for all creatures big and small!
On Sunday morning, Oct. 4, we’ll devote Time with Children to the animal blessing theme. Children are invited to bring their stuffies and/or pictures of their pets. Parents can also come forward with their children and bring their phones with pictures of their pets for a thanksgiving and blessing.
A free-will offering of dog and cat food will be accepted Saturday and Sunday to benefit Little Kitchen Food Pantry.
