Grace hosting animal blessing
Grace Episcopal Church is hosting its Fifth Annual Blessing of the Animals service at 2 p.m. Sunday. Each October churches around the world hold special services to honor and recognize the important role that animals play in many people’s lives. This service is offered in October, because October marks the feast of Francis of Assisi, who was known for many things, including his special relationship with animals.
