Nativity Episcopal

Church will have pet blessing, picnic Oct. 1

The Episcopal

Church of the Nativity will observe the feast of St. Francis of Assisi

with the annual Blessing of Pets on Sunday, Oct. 1, at 4 p.m. The blessing

will take place in the Memorial Garden at Nativity's new home on Antioch

Road. The garden will include a special place for pets when it is completed.

A picnic will

follow the blessing. Susanne Allen, a member of Nativity who provides

shelter for animals who are abandoned, neglected and abused, is coordinating

the picnic. Both the blessing and the picnic are open to the public.

All pets must

be at least three months old, be current on shots, and must be kept on

a leash and under the owner's control at all times. For more information,
