On October 2, the Church of the Holy Spirit in Verona is hosting a Celebration of Pets in the Verona Civic Center from 1 to 3 p.m.
Holy Spirit has We always marked the first Sunday in October with a blessing of the animals, in honor of St. Francis, their patron. This year, the church is planning something much different and of broader appeal: an afternoon in the outdoor Verona Civic Center that will allow everyone to honor all their four-footed, winged, and finned friends by recognizing their importance in our lives and the joy they bring us each day.
Holy Spirit is inviting a wide variety of pet-oriented services and businesses, such as animal shelters and fostering groups looking for homes for pets, as well as local doggie day care providers and pet-sitters and groomers, and artists and crafts-persons who create things for and about our pets.
For more information, email [email protected] or call (973) 239-2850. The Church of the Holy Spirit’s website is www.holyspiritverona.org.
