On September 15,  Holy Ghost Orthodox Church will be having an animal blessing in recognition of our Patron Saint of Animals, St. Mamas.  We will have an outdoor service beginning at 10am on our front steps, followed by the blessing of the animals in attendance.

We invite all pet owners from the area to come and join us in this celebration. All animals must be restrained - dogs on leashes, cats in carries, reptiles in tanks...
