The Beaches Episcopal School hosted
its annual Blessing of the Pets on Fri.,
Oct. 2 on campus. Students were joined
by their families and pets to receive
personalized blessings during an outdoor ceremony on the St. Paul’s by-the-
Sea Episcopal Church Lawn. Students
whose pets could not join them that
morning were invited to bring stuffed
animals to receive the special blessing
for their pets at home.
