Pet Dads Get Special Father's Day Service and Blessing at Perfect Paws Pet Ministry

Sweet, special, half-hour service and blessing for all Pet Dads and their household animal companions from 5 to 5:30 June 21.

June 21st is Father’s Day, and Perfect Paws Pet Ministry, at All Saints of the North Shore, Danvers, invites all Pet Dads (and Moms and kids) to come with their beloved pets for a special Father’s Day service and hands-on blessing of appreciation and gratitude.

If you have a special bond with your pup or feline, or any other household animal, why not bring them to our sweet half hour service which celebrates pet companionship and the wonders of all creation.

More than 60% of all households in the United States have a pet. Yep. Pets are really, really important to us, and we spend billions of dollars a year on grooming, food, and health care for our furry little friends. Why? Because pets are (sometimes) better than people. They don’t yell at us; they don’t fire us; they don’t hold a grudge, they are always happy to see us walk through the door -- no matter how late we are -- and they just plain love us unconditionally.

They also can help us through emotional hardship, are literally good for our health (their presence is scientifically proven to lower blood pressure, they encourage exercise, etc.) and they provide a source companionship in a way that a human can’t.

So come and celebrate your status as a caring, loving father of your animal friend, and bring him or her with you. All faiths are welcome, as are all household animal friends.
