Sunday Service & Blessing of the Animals
- Date: Sunday, October 1, 2023
- Time: 10:30am–11:30am
- Location: Hybrid – Online & In Person at FPCW, 349 Boston Post Road, Weston, MA 02493
Animals of all kinds are some of the greatest wonders of creation, and we invite you to bring your beloved animals (or photos of them) to be blessed to worship on Sunday, October 1st for our annual Blessing of the Animals. We honor the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part and the ministry of Saint Francis of Assisi with this annual celebration.
All friendly, housebroken, and well-behaved animals are welcome! People are also encouraged to bring photos of beloved companions who have died and wait across the “Rainbow Bridge.”
We have done this service both indoors AND outdoors (weather permitting), so be sure to check the website so you can dress appropriately. Worship format will be a little different, so stay tuned for any fur-ther details!
We have a hybrid worship format with in-person services inside our (ventilated, HEPA-filtered & climate-controlled) sanctuary, while simultaneously live-streaming the service using Zoom. Childcare and children’s programming will also be available at 10:30, and the service is followed by a time of fellowship and refreshment in the Parish Hall.
