Blessing of the Animals

Description

Please come to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church's Blessing of the Animals on September 30^th at 10 a.m.  . We would love to see you all there with your well-behaved pets (leashed or in a carrier). We are praying for good weather and hope it will be a lovely time spent under the old church's canopy of trees (or in the parish hall in case of the R--- word). 
 
Dog treats and kitty treats will be provided to owners to give their well-behaved pets.  Water dishes placed around the property will be available for those pups who get thirsty. Any pet spiders are on their own.  
 
The Blessing of the Animals event is a multi-purpose event.  Since our pets are a blessing, we want to return the favor! The event is also to raise the community’s awareness of OLPH.  Take a peek inside the church to see one of Ybor City's jewels.  There is NO fee or charge for attending the Blessing of the Animals.
 
Not only would we love to see you, we would like you to spread the word to family, friends and co-workers and have them attend the event as well.  Several of us have been hard at work in Tampa at large and specifically in the Ybor City, Tampa Heights, and Seminole Heights communities to advertise the Blessing of the Animals.

Free parking is available (while it lasts) in the large grass parking lot located on 11th Avenue across from OLPH.
