Rain or shine, pets are a blessing
Rain couldn’t stop the traditional “Blessing of the Animals” a few weeks back.
While some churches did postpone the annual event, which celebrates the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, others opened their doors to pet owners and their best friends.
“It was an honor to be able to bless our animals and pets,” said Father Kevin Abel of Our Lady of Angels. “Animals give us company and joy and we ask God’s blessing upon them.”
