Pet Blessing Saturday is a new event at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ. Dr. Bill Wassner will hold a pet blessing celebration on Saturday, October 8, 2016. This is the first Saturday to follow the Feast of St. Francis.  St. Francis of Assisi loved all animals, and we hold the pet blessing in honor of him.  This is also the day the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival will hold its annual Pet Parade.

Your pet is a creature of God.  Celebrate the love you have for your pet by having your pet receive a special blessing.  If you pet does not travel well, or if your pet does not do well around other animals, you may bring a picture for Dr. Wassner to bless.

The Pet Blessing will take place immediately before the Fall Festival Pet Parade at 9:45 AM.  The Blessing will be held at the staging area for the parade, which is the St. Boniface parking lot.
