Bring your furry, feathered, or scaly companions to the beach on Sunday, October 5 for the Blessing of the Animals! This year, St. Luke’s will hold a joint outdoor service with our friends from St. Mark’s. Bring your beach chair or blanket!
Leashed or safely enclosed in carriers, all pets are warmly welcomed in this gathering. If you prefer not to bring your pet in person, you’re welcome to bring a photo for a special blessing. Additionally, there’s an opportunity to honor and remember pets who have departed from our lives.
Join us in commemorating the beauty of all creatures, both great and small, as we come together to celebrate this heartwarming tradition! In case of rain, the service will be held at St. Luke’s.
