The Anglicans of Laurens County and St. Mary’s Chapel are inviting the community to bring their pets to a special “Blessing of the Animals” event at Tractor Supply Company in Laurens on Saturday, September 28. The event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will feature Archbishop Emeritus Creighton Jones of Newberry, who will be conducting individual blessings for Laurens County pets.

Each pet will receive a certificate of blessing along with complimentary dog treats. The event is a chance to celebrate God’s creation and the special role animals play in our lives. All are welcome to attend and participate in this joyful occasion.
