Morganville United Church of Christ Pastor James Morasco, above, will conduct a special service next month to bless animals.
Submitted photo and press release:
In recognition of the relationship and love between people and their pets the Morganville United Church of Christ invites all to bring their pets (or a photo) to our special 10 a.m. service on Sunday, Sept. 16, for them to receive God’s blessing.
Each pet blessed will receive a Certificate of Blessing from Pastor James Morasco. Pets need to be on a leash or safely in your care.
Animal blessing services were started as a result of Saint Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures. He is the patron saint of ecologists – honoring his love of animals and nature.
Refreshments and fellowship will follow the service.
The church is located at 8466 Morganville Road in Stafford.
