St. John's 2011 Fall Festival and Blessing of the Animals

Saturday, October 22, 2011
10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
Animal Blessing at 1:00 p.m.
Please join us!!

What's it all about?
In honor of the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, and in celebration of World Animal Day, we are holding our annual event, which recognizes our link to and communion with all of God's furry, scaly and feathery animal friends, thanking them for their companionship and love, and asking God's blessings for continued health, wholeness, and that they, like us, might live up to being the best that we can be. The animal blessing service begins at 1:00pm. All animals should be properly restrained, and on leashes or in boxes. We also bless "in absentia" using pictures of your pets.
But, it's also about fun, fun and more fun! While you wait for the animal blessing, you can enjoy our exciting Fall Festival, with barbeque for sale, prize giveaways, a moonwalk, pony rides, face painting, a spelling bee, and lots more!

Plus, this year, we're sponsoring our very first Fall Festival Auto Show!! If you or someone you know has a stylish, classic or just plain cool car that is aching to be shown off, please call 770-883-6542 to register for this fun event. Space is very limited, so register ASAP!!
