About the Event

Thursday, Oct 6 at 5:30pm: Join us for a special Pray and Play service for our furry friends (and possibly feathery or scaly friends). The Blessing of the Animals is a long standing and loved tradition at Saint James'. In honor of Saint Francis, we will celebrate with a special service in which all of our animals are invited to attend. We look forward to seeing your four-legged (or winged) family members.

The service will be held on the playground at Saint James'. We will be collecting items for the Fauquier SPCA.  The items can be collected at this service or throughout the month of October.  Donation bins can be found at the service, in the Parish Hall or in our school lobby. The Fauquier SPCA was founded in 1957 to offer protection and assistance to the animals of Fauquier County and surrounding areas. Let’s show some love to these animals and their hard-working caretakers by sending in any of the items from their wish list below by October 31st. Thank you in advance for helping to strengthen the traditions of service, compassion and respect here at Saint James’ Episcopal Church and School.

Fauquier SPCA Wish List:  Canned Cat Food (Pate style), Bleach, Paper Towels, Disinfecting Wipes, Distilled water, Hand sanitizer, 13-gallon trash bags, Powdered & Liquid Laundry detergent (HE), Cat Toys
