Blessing of pets and animals on Sunday, Oct. 5 at noon in the Emmanuel Church Labyrinth on the lawn. This event is open to the public. All children and adults are welcome to bring their special pet for a blessing by Emmanuel’s new minister, Berto Gandara. St. Francis of Assisi, a 13th–century Franciscan monk, believed  that all creatures (whether human or nonhuman) belong to one family of creation.
