St. Francis Animal Blessing, Saturday, October 2, 5pm, Church Apron.

Come and join us with your beloved animal, pets, or stuffed animal for our annual St. Francis Blessing of the Animals to include our dear friends of the animal kingdom in the grace of God.

We will gather on Saturday, October 2 at 5pm on the apron of our church. All are welcome, all creatures great and small.

For our children, there is a picture contest:

Pray with your pet and send us a picture! Don't have a pet but want to join in? Choose your favorite stuffed animal or take a nature walk and send us a pic of your prayer time together. Photos will be entered into a church-wide contest and displayed at the Blessing of Animals outdoors at Trinity on Oct. 2 at 5 pm. Send your submission, name, and description, to Angela Arpino, Children, Youth and Family Ministry, at family@trinitynewhaven.org
