The Blessing of the Animals

We held our annual Blessing of the Animals on St. Francis of Assisi’s Feast Day, Sunday, October 4th.  Many enthusiastic dogs and two indifferent chickens came to the in-person, Covid-safe blessing outside of our church.  Many, many cats preferred to receive their blessings digitally over Zoom, which means quite a few more cats were blessed this year than normally.  Scroll down to the bottom to hear the commentary.
