Blessings of Pets & Animals

St. Paul's Episcopal Church,  in the heart of downtown Brighton,  invites community residents and their  pets for the Annual Blessing of the Animals, October 6, 2013 @ 5:00 p.m. at the Millpond Gazebo.



The tradition of blessing animals dates back to St. Francis who the late 12th Century preached the birds  and is reported to have helped heal a wolf. St. Francis had a profound love for  all creatures as part of God's good creation.

Anyone in the community is  invited to attend the Blessings of the Animals. Dogs should be brought on a leash  and cats and other small animals are invited to be in carriers.



For more information call  810-229-2821  or email info@saintpaulsbrighton.org

Hope to see you there!!
