At the Blessing of the Animals today at Trinity Lower East Side Lutheran Parish

Photos by Stacie Joy 

Pet owners turned out this morning for the annual Blessing of the Animals at Trinity Lower East Side Lutheran Parish on Avenue B at Ninth Street.

EVG contributor Stacie Joy stopped by to watch Pastor Will in action in this celebration of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

There was a variety of doggos... and one owner even brought his late pet in a cremation box...

That one dog seems to be saying "Noooooo, my Jewish grandmother will never let me hear the end of this!" Very sweet.

Oh Sarah. Same name,not Jewish or Catholic but I took my cat to 14 th st Saturday. There’s no Jewish blessing of animals. St Francis was pretty cool.
