SUMMARY:Blessing of the Pets
DESCRIPTION:St. Francis Episcopal Church and Immaculate Conception Catholic Church are excited to announce their annual St. Francis Day Pet Blessing. This heartwarming event invites all pet owners and their beloved animals for a special blessing\, as well as an opportunity to contribute to a local cause. The Pet Blessing will take place on Saturday\, October 3rd at 9:30 am at St. Francis Episcopal Church\, 726 Maple Street\, Denham Springs. \nAll community Blessing members and their pets are welcome to attend this free event. In honor of St. Francis of Assisi\, the patron saint of animals\, pets of any and all kinds will be blessed. Please ensure all pets are safely contained or leashed for the comfort and safety of everyone attending. \nIn addition to the blessing\, the event will feature a pet food drive to support the Denham Springs Animal Shelter. Donations of Purina Cat\, Dog\, Puppy\, and Kitten food are preferred. The shelter is also collecting newspapers\, old sheets\, and towels to support their daily operations.\nThis annual event serves as a bridge between two churches and a symbol of unity within the community.

Pet photos and stuffies are also welcome. \nSaint Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and the environment because he is known for his love of all creation. Around his feast day\, October 4th\, we bless pets as a way to mark this day and honor his spirit. Because St. Francis also cared deeply for the poor\, we will also be collecting pet food on Saturday for Denham Springs Animal Shelter. Come join us! (Photos and stuffies welcome\, too!)
