In honor of St Francis of Assisi, Trinity Episcopal Church will be hosting a public Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, September 30, at 4 pm.

All are invited to gather on the front lawn of Trinity Church, 36 Main Street (the stone church by the flagpole), for a brief service of prayer and song, after which the animals will be blessed.

Adults and children of all ages are welcome.

Furry friends should be on leashes and in carriers. For pets that are shy or not easily transported, a photo or favorite toy can be used in their place and will be blessed.

Donations of pet food for FAITH Food Pantry are requested.

For additional information, call 203-426-9070.
