The Blessing of the Animals

Saturday October 5, 2024 at 1:00 pm

The Rev. Jack Gilpin

The First Ecclesiastical Society of New Preston invites everyone to attend our Bicentennial “Blessing of the Animals” on Saturday, October 5, 2024

at the Stone Church & Meetinghouse at 1:00 pm.

Bring your furry family and your friends to receive a blessing from The Rev. Jack Gilpin. Animals should be on a leash, in a cage, in a bowl, or otherwise safely in their owner’s control. All animals are welcome. Large animals (horses, cows, sheep, goats etc.) will be blessed outside the Church.

Refreshments and light bites will be served after the Blessing.
