On Monday evening, October 4, a group of animals (and their human counterparts) gathered in the cold air in front of Saint Andrew School for the blessing of animals. Saint Francis of Assisi is well known as the patron saint of animals and so, recognizing the role that animals play, not only in our own lives, but also in salvation history, the Church has a long custom of blessing animals on St. Francis' feast day. We sang, prayed and blessed asking the intercession of Saint Francis for our "furry friends."
