In celebration of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the beloved patron saint of animals, Immaculate Conception Church, located at 14th Street and First Avenue, will hold its annual Blessing of Pets in front of its main doors on Saturday Oct. 3 at one in the afternoon. Please note that pets need not be Catholic to be blessed.
We invite all to join us in this beautiful tradition of fur, feathers and family.

aw, they changed the poster! I mean, this one is very pretty of course, but one of the highlights of every year is seeing the Immaculate Conception flyers with the clip art of raccoons and zebras and other pets one wouldn't automatically think would attend a service on 1st and 14th.
