St. Benedict’s Episcopal Church and Day School invite the community out on Saturday, October 3, 2009 for our 2nd Annual St. Francis’ Day Festival.

Celebrating the role of animals in our lives, the festival will be held from 11 AM to 2 PM at St. Benedict’s Episcopal Church and Day School, 2160 Cooper Lake Rd., Smyrna, GA 30080, near the corner of Atlanta Road and Cumberland Blvd (Just across the street from Ivy Walk).

There will be pet blessings, a pet parade, face painting for the kids, and lunch served by our youth group. So bring your dogs, cats, gerbils, and other four legged friends; don’t forget your lizards, hermit crabs, fish, and any other pet that slithers, creeps or swims!

The Rev. Lang Lowrey, Vicar of St. Benedict’s, states, “I expect that this will be a great time for families, both with two-legged and four-legged children to come out, have fun and grow as a community. I hope we will have a lot of new faces and wagging tails join us for a wonderful day.”
