On Tuesday, Oct. 4th, we had a little fun on St. Francis’ feast day. Many students brought stuffed animals, as well as their live animals to the pet blessing. There were dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, fish, and lizards. You can tell we had plenty of species! We sang the song, “The Prayer of St. Francis,” and then Father blessed the pets. The priests, Fr. Earl Befort, Fr. Barnabas, and Fr. Daryl went around and sprinkled the animals with holy water. We had fun petting our pets and the pets of our friends. This should help them behave better.
