Blessing of animals this Sunday

A service of Thanksgiving for God's gifts of creatures great and small will take place at St. James' Anglican Church in Caledon East this Sunday (Oct. 5).

The service will start at 3 p.m. All animals, along with their human friends, are invited to this celebration of God's creation, and of humans' responsibility to take care of all that He created.

Pets should come on leads or in containers, and should bring their own bowl for water.

Reverend Wendy Moore will be blessing all of the animals and, as a special treat, the St. John's Ambulance Therapy Dogs will be joining this service.

St. James' is at 6025 Old Church Rd. in Caledon East.
