Blessing of the Animals

---

Father Tim Carr and All Souls Episcopal Church are opening their doors to bless all animals for the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.  You are welcome to bring your animals to church to be blessed and join us after the mass for fun activities outside the church.  

Women for Paws has been invited by All Souls Church for a special blessing of the animals. Our organization is a charitable organization dedicated to savings the family pet from going to a shelter.  We provide financial support to individuals that are experiencing a temporary financial or medical hardship.  To learn about our mission and the work that we do, please visit us at: https://www.womenforpaws.org 

We are also partnering with Miami-Dade County Animal Services' HOPE Express  to offer beautiful and loving animals that are ready for adoption.  If you are looking for your best paw friend, you may be able to find him/her/them at the Blessing of the Animals.  

Bring your family and friends, and don't forget your paw kids.  We look forward to seeing you. Pets should be in carriers or on leashes at all times.  If you can't bring your pet, bring a photo of  your pet to be blessed.
