Blessing of the Animals and a Chance to Give Back!
Saturday, October 3 at 3pm - 5pm on the Front Lawn (blessing at 4pm)
This year, our annual Blessing of the Animals is expanding into a Community Pet Fair! Join us on Saturday, October 3, from 3:00–5:00 p.m., when we’ll welcome the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA, along with other local animal-care partners.
As part of the celebration, we’re collecting pet food for the PHS/SPCA Pet Food Bank, which helps people in our community who need assistance feeding the animals they love.
Please bring: unopened and unexpired wet or dry dog and cat food, treats, bird seed, hamster food, rabbit pellets, or other food for small animals (no Rx, opened, or refrigerated items, please).
Bring your beloved animal companion for the bilingual Blessing of the Animals at 4:00 p.m. and, if you can, bring some pet food to help another family care for theirs.
