On Thursday, October 6, 2026, St. John’s held the annual Blessing of the Animals outside under the crimson maple tree. This year we asked the staff from the Williams Veterinary Wellness clinic to join us. Together we are also collecting pet food for our food pantry. Below are photos from the event. Fr. Phil Shaw got to bless his first hen, Etta Mae, and he was absolutely thrilled. Everyone that came had a wonderful experience and time.
