Blessing of the Pets


The feast of St. Francis of Assisi is a traditional time for the blessing of pets. So on our parish lawn gathered numerous dogs of all sizes and description, two birds...
...one cat...




...and a turtle.

We will return to Alaska in the next post.

How very sweet! That mini-pincher looked just like our Tucker! So neat! Kerrie

How very nice, we do that in Belgium too but on another Saint's day.

What a nice idea. I wish someone would bless my one cat with a new personality. I've prayed about it.
