Blessing of the Pets

The annual Blessing of the Pets in honor of St. Francis will be held on Sunday, October 7, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. at Hope Lutheran Church of Forest Hills. Come and bring your animal companions, and bring a camera to take pictures!


Weather permitting, the blessing liturgy will be held on the church lawn beside the parking lot. In case of inclement weather, we will move to the Social Hall. In addition to hymns and prayers that mention all God's creatures, each pet will receive an individual blessing from the Rev. Susan C. Schwartz, pastor of Hope.


Even if you don’t have a pet, please join us. Hope is located at 353 Ridge Avenue at the corner of Braddock Road, just up the hill from the Forest Hills Pool.
