Bring your favorite furry, finned or feathered friend to the courtyard of the Marty Leonard Community Chapel for a special Blessing of the Animals ceremony hosted by Lena Pope at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1st.
The celebration will include a brief service with a collective blessing of the creatures, a meet-and-greet with some wild animals, complimentary pet portraits, information on the developmental and psychological benefits of pets for children, and other fun activities. Attendees will receive a certificate to commemorate the blessing.
All animals are welcome with a human companion. Dogs must be leashed. Other animals must be in carriers or otherwise contained. Animals will not be allowed inside the chapel. In the event of rain, the event will be cancelled.
With its soaring arch and dramatic glass windows, the Marty Leonard Community Chapel is an architectural marvel designed by one of the nation’s top architects of the 20th Century. Opened in 1990, it began as a place to
serve the youth and families of Lena Pope. It was designed by the late E. Fay Jones, an award-winning architect and protégé of world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In 2015, the Chapel received the Fort
Worth American Institute of Architects' 25-year Award.
