Get Your Child's Backpack Blessed Sunday At Secaucus Episcopal Church

SECAUCUS, NJ — This Sunday, Sept. 17 the Episcopal church in town, Church of Our Saviour, will hold a "Blessing of the Backpacks" for Secaucus children and teens.

This is where all Secaucus children and teens are invited to bring their backpacks to the church to get a special blessing from the reverend, and good wishes for the year ahead as the school year begins anew.
