Annual North Shore Blessing of the Animals at Endicott Park-- free and open to the public

Who would pass up a FREE blessing?

Bring your whole family -- especially Fido and Fife -- to our annual celebration of St. Francis, the patron saint of all animals. Bring your neighbors and friends too, to this animal lover's delight!

The 15th annual All Saints/Perfect Paws Blessing of the Animals happens Saturday, October 1, 2016, from 1 to 3 p.m., at Endicott Park, Danvers. Rev. Mary DeCarlen will be offering her sweet, hands-on blessings for all animals present, and even for those who -- because of temperament -- are unable to attend. There will be prayers for healing for animals who are ill and, for animals who have died, Marya will offer intercessions for eternal rest in God's Heavenly Kingdom.

All faiths, paws, claws, wings, scales are most welcome!

This event is sponsored annually, for the entire north shore community, by All Saints Episcopal Church of the North Shore and the Perfect Paws Pet Ministry. Please join us! We'll be there-- inside or in front of the Carriage House -- rain or shine.
