On Sunday, October 6th, Holy Family will hold its annual Blessing of the Animals. Blessings will take place in the sanctuary during the 8 AM service. During the 10 AM service, they will take place at the Outdoor Chapel adjacent to the parking lot. The first part of the service will include a blessing of any animals in attendance, and the second part will be a simplified Holy Eucharist. This service will be very informal and is a great opportunity to invite new people to try Holy Family. Pets on leashes and in carriers are welcome to be blessed in the chapel, and the clergy will be happy to bless them in their cars or trailers instead if that is preferred by their human. In the event of rain, the service will be held in the sanctuary.
Please feel free to bring camp chairs, blankets, or beach towels to make your time in the outdoor chapel more comfortable. Holy Family welcomes all creatures great and small!
