Blessing of the Animals
Each year the Episcopal Church of St. Paul and St. James blesses any of the little critters who are brought for a blessing. It was on October 4 which is usually close to St. Francis of Assisi Day.

After serving congregations in Fairfield, Bridgeport, and Wilton, CT I am the Senior Redevelopment Pastor at Orange Congregational Church in Orange, CT. Prior to that I lived in Jerusalem (the real one) and I have three GORGEOUS children, the loves of my life.
Sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed by the artistic stoles American clergy come up with.
Do you really have dog-watering fountains there? Never seen that. Great idea.
