In celebration of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the beloved patron saint of animals, The Church of the Immaculate Conception, located at 14th Street and First Avenue, will hold its annual Blessing of Pets in front of its main doors on Saturday Oct. 1, at one o’clock in the afternoon. We invite all to join us in this beautiful tradition of fur, feathers and family.

Fur, feathers and family, huh?
ReplyDeleteWell, count me out.
Almost every church now seems to have a "blessing of the animals;" it's a good way to boost the congregation and show that, "Hey, we tolerate your animals one day a year."
ReplyDeleteAre there vegan blessings? I want my plant to be blessed.
