The Annual Blessing of the Animals will be held outside the portico of the Edgewood Congregational Church, 1788 Broad St., Cranston, on Sunday, Oct. 6 at 10 a.m.

Everyone is invited to bring their pets, whether you are a member of the church or not, all are welcome.

In past years Rev. William Sterrett and previous ministers have blessed cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, gerbils and other animals.

In the event of rain the ceremony will be held indoors. Please have your animal on a leash or under your control.
