St. Paul Parish is rolling out the welcome mat for creatures great and small this Saturday with its Blessing of the Animals. The event takes place Oct. 4 at 10 a.m. on the parish grounds at 5245 SE 112th Street in Belleview.
The gathering gives residents the chance to bring their pets—from cats and dogs to donkeys, birds, and yes, even cows—for a special blessing.
In addition to the blessing, complimentary treats will be available for the animals. The parish encourages anyone in the community to attend, with the promise that “all God’s creatures are welcome.”
