Blessing of the Animals at St. Peter’s
Join Us Sunday, Oct. 2 at 9:30 a.m. in Purcellville
On Sunday, Oct. 2, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 37018 Glendale Street in Purcellville, is hosting their annual Blessing of the Animals as part of the Feast of St. Francis with a special outdoor service at 9:30 a.m. The community is invited to bring any animal of any size -- furry, squirmy, scaly or feathery.
This annual event is an opportunity for church members and community friends to remember St. Francis' devotion to God's creatures and bless those that are such a blessing to us.
Please be sure that small animals are in a proper carrier and large or aggressive animals are properly restrained. In case of rain the Blessing of the Animals will be canceled, but there will be a service of Morning Prayer indoors.
