Sunday Pet Blessing

If you are anywhere near Shelbyville, TN this Sunday:

PLEASE JOIN US AS WE CELELBRATE THE PET BLESSING ON ST. FRANCIS DAY EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER SUNDAY AFTERNOON 4:00 PM OCTOBER 3, 2010

We hope you will join us on our "barking lot" and bring your pet(s) to be blessed on this festive day. Each pet will receive a blessing and their very own St. Francis Pet ID Tag and Personalized Commemorative Certificate as free gifts from your neighborhood church. Help us celebrate this wonderful tradition.

St. Francis is an historical figure; the son of a wealthy man, who gave up untold riches to serve the poor and be a voice for those who were less fortunate. St. Francis is the saint known as a lover of creation and animals.

As we are in town near traffic, we ask that you keep your dog on a leash and your cat or other small animal in a carrier for their own safety.

Here's some shots of the past years' Pet Blessings.
