Temecula Church Holds First Annual Pet Fair and Blessing of the Animals

From St. Thomas of Canterbury:

TEMECULA, CA - Saint Thomas of Canterbury in Temecula is holding its First Annual St. Thomas Pet Fair on Saturday October 1, 2016 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at St Thomas of Canterbury Episcopal Church located at 44651 Avenida de Missiones, Temecula, CA 92592. The Pet Fair will be followed by the First Annual St. Thomas Pet Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

St. Thomas is proud to be a pet friendly church. Your pets are welcome at St. Thomas anytime. But once a year we try to do something special for our pets. In honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi we hold an annual Blessing of the Animals on the first Saturday of October. Because this will be the tenth annual Blessing of the Animals, we are going to make it special by holding a Pet Fair in conjunction with the Blessing of the Animals.

There will be pets available for adoption, rescue groups, youth groups, service animal groups and a veterinary office participating. We will also have special St. Thomas of Canterbury pet leashes available for free to the first fifty attendees and to anyone who adopts a pet on that day.

Expected to attend are: Living Free Animal Sanctuary, So Cal Mini Horse Sanctuary, Canine Support Teams, PAWZ (for wounded veterans), Prison Pup Program, Murrieta Mustangs 4-H Club and South Temecula Veterinary Hospital. Living Free will have animals available for adoption and South Temecula Veterinary Hospital is offering a special discount for animals adopted at the Pet Fair.

We encourage all animal owners and lovers to show up and bring your animals – all species and breeds welcome!
