Festival of the Animals to be held at St. George
ANDERSON – – St George’s Episcopal Church will hold its annual Festival of the Animals on Saturday, October 1, beginning at 11:00 a.m. All creatures great and small are welcome on a leash or in a pet carrier. The festival will be held rain or shine.
Beginning at 11:30 a.m., The Reverend Susan Louttit-Hardaway will offer an individual blessing for each pet, as well as a special prayer for deceased pets. The traditional Blessing of the Animals honors St. Francis of Assisi, known as the patron saint of animals and ecology.
Before and after the ceremony, there will be a silent auction featuring items for pets and box lunches available for purchase.
Several community animal groups are expected to be at the festival including Anderson County Animal Shelter (PAWS), Anderson County Humane Society, Freedom Fences, and Anderson Voices for Animals. Proceeds from the festival will benefit the animal welfare groups attending.
St. George’s Episcopal Church is located at 2206 East Greenville St (Highway 81), Anderson. For more information, visit www.stgeorgesanderson.org, call 864-224-1104, or email stgeorgeanderson@gmail.com.
