SUMMARY:St. Paul’s Episcopal Church to Bless Animals October 4
DESCRIPTION:Lynnfield\, MA — St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, 127 Summer Street\, Lynnfield\, will conduct its annual Blessing of the Animals on Sunday\, October 4\, 2026\, at 12:00 noon in the church parking lot. All local community members are welcome to bring their pets. \nThe Blessing of the Animals coincides with the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi\, the patron saint of animals\, who is noted for his love of all of God’s creation. In past years\, St. Paul’s has seen dogs\, cats\, hamsters\, and stuffed animals at this annual blessing — even cell phone photographs of pets who couldn’t attend physically. \n“St. Francis’ feast day is a great time to bless our animals\,” said the Rev. Robert Bacon\, rector of St. Paul’s. “Our pets are beloved members of God’s creation. We welcome this opportunity to gather with friends throughout the area to bless and give thanks for our animals and the families who love them.” \nThe parish of St. Paul’s\, founded in Lynnfield in 1918\, is a growing Episcopal parish that seeks to connect with God and with one another through worship\, prayer\, service\, and study. More information about St. Paul’s is available at stpaulslynnfield.org.
