Please 
join us for the Annual Blessing of Animals and Pets on Sunday, October 3rd at 4:00pm at St. Paul’s Church by-the-Lake, 7100 N. Ashland.
Bring your pets (or photographs of animals who do not travel well) for a joyous and fun-filled afternoon as we honor our animal friends.
The service will be held in the church. Animals will receive individual blessings at the Altar. You then are invited to join the Reverend John Heschle to bless the new St. Francis of Assisi statue on the church’s grounds. A reception with treats for the 2-and 4-legged will be held in the church hall after the ceremony.
All species are invited to join us, but animals must be on a leash or in a pet safe carrier.
