Blessing of the Pets
🐈 “A pet can be a true companion. There’s no better feeling than to arrive home from work and be greeted by a furry, feathered, or finned friend.”
🐕 Join us at FPC on October 13 along with your animal companion as we conduct a traditional blessing of the animals.
🐶 This ancient tradition has been practiced for centuries. Started by Saint Francis of Assisi of the Catholic tradition in the 12th century, he wrote a Canticle for the Creatures that has endured to the present, remaining a favorite amongst pet owners, and continued around the world today.
🐷 All are welcome to come to FPC, and bring along their companion and receive a blessing. You do not have to be a member of our church to do so, (or of any church!) we welcome all backgrounds and beliefs to bring their pet to this fun community event.
Refreshments will be available, and we invite you to take part in this community gathering event at FPC, as well as explore the other events coming up at FPC this year.
