On Friday, Oct. 5, Holy Trinity Church has its annual St. Francis of Assisi Pet Blessing at 6 p.m. at Carleton Hall.

All creatures – four-legged and two-legged – are welcome. This annual event is a favorite and celebrates St. Francis belief that the light of God is perfectly reflected in all of nature and nowhere is His essence better revealed than in the unconditional love, companionship and devotion of the pets we hold dear to our hearts.
