To celebrate how special your pet is to you and your family, we hope you and your furry, feathered, and reptilian friends will join us for LaGrange First Methodist’s annual Blessing of the Animals free event from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 3, at Southbend Park (400 Bull Street in LaGrange).
The event will begin with a special message from Dr. John Beyers, our senior minister. Dr. Beyers and Pastor Ben Wills will then spend time with each pet individually for a special blessing. We’ll also have free treats for your pet to enjoy!
If you pet is no longer with us (or doesn’t travel well), you’re welcome to bring a photo in print or on your phone so we can celebrate the life of your pet. We will remember all those creatures who have made our lives special.
Our friends from the City of LaGrange Animal Shelter also will be joining us. Though the event is free, we are asking that those attending bring canned cat food, heavy-duty dog collars and leashes, and dog and cat treats and toys to help the shelter staff members care for the shelter animals.
On October 3, many churches all around the world will be honoring the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment, by holding Blessing of the Animals ceremonies. We hope you will join us on this special day to honor God’s creatures who give us so much love and companionship!
