Beloved Pets to be Blessed Oct. 6

A “Blessing of the Animals,” celebrating the Feast of St. Francis, will be held at Christ Episcopal Church in Tarrytown on Sunday, October 6 at 3pm.

The Reverend Susan Copley will officiate at the blessing in the main sanctuary of the church. Owners of dogs, cats, rabbits, goldfish and other pets are welcome to attend a short service, followed by individual blessings of each animal.

Rev. Copley, rector of Christ Church, said the annual event is in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures.
