Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, Sept. 30th at 12 noon
A procession of animals, everything from dogs and cats to hamsters and even horses, is led to churches for a special ceremony called the Blessing of Pets. This custom is conducted in remembrance of Saint Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures.
If bringing a horse, or other large or exotic animal or need to borrow a cat carrier, please call Judy (914) 482-8741.
