Saint Matthews to
host animal blessing In the tradition of St. Francis of
Assisi, Saint Matthews Anglican Church will host its second annual Blessing of the Animals from 10 am to noon on Oct. 2 on the church grounds on Reems Creek Road. All members of the community are welcome to bring their pets to the church to receive a priestly bless- ing. St. Francis, whose feast day is
Oct. 4, loved the larks flying about his hilltop town. A legend says that he and his early brothers, staying in a small hovel, allowed themselves to be displaced by a donkey. Saint Matthews Anglican
Church, established in 2005, values the beliefs and history of the early church fathers, and therefore con- tinues the tradition. For more information, contact
Father Donald R. Sackett with Saint Matthews at 215-9932.
