There is only one service on Sunday Oct 5th for the Blessing of the Animals. In recognition of St Francis we will be outside blessing our furry friends AND for the first time since Fr Sam joined us, we will be holding a celtic influenced service. This was a one time regular occurrence at St. Paul’s. This may or may not remind you of those past times – we have intentionally not dug out old bulletins to see what was done before. The format we will use is used by multiple Episcopal Churches and changed slightly to better reflect normal practices at St. Paul’s. Hopefully it is familiar and exciting, new and very ancient. Also there will be puppies.
