Today(10/4), being the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, the local Franciscan parish,
St. Anthony of Padua, had a pet blessing. There were some birds, some cats, 3 chickens, lots of dogs and
Jake!
Father read the Blessing from the Book of Blessings and then he went around and sprinkled every animal with Holy Water.
