DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to bring your pets for a short Blessing 
 of the Pets on Sunday\, October 4\, at 1:30 p.m. As we close the Season of
  Creation\, we will gather to give thanks for the animals who share our ho
 mes\, enrich our lives\, and remind us of the beauty and wonder of God’s
  creation.\nThis will be a joyful opportunity to celebrate the pets in our
  lives as the special gifts and companions they are. Whether they are play
 ful\, quiet\, furry\, feathered\, scaled\, or small enough to be carried\,
  all pets are welcome. Please ensure that animals are safely restrained  
 as appropriate\, so that everyone can enjoy the gathering comfortably.\nTh
 e blessing will also offer a gentle moment to remember and honour beloved 
 pets who remain close in our memories. Those whose pets are no longer with
  them are warmly welcome to attend and may wish to bring a photograph or s
 imply hold their companion in their heart during the service.\nCome and sh
 are this meaningful time of gratitude\, remembrance\, and celebration. We 
 look forward to seeing—and hearing—you and your pets. \nFr. James
