St. Francis Blessing of the Animals video

Here's a video, by Lori, of our St. Francis Blessing of the Animals this past Sunday, with musical soundtrack. This was a lot of fun. Enjoy! And then see the photos below the video.

Bearded Dragons and the Blessing of the Animals

On Sunday we had our St. Francis Blessing of the Animals, and we said prayers and sprinkled water on quite a collection of God's wonderful creation. Many dogs, one cat (our 19-year-old Chrissy, brave veteran of many St. Francis days).

Award for the most exotic animal? Joanna's pet Bearded Dragon, a lizard native to Australia.

We also had a procession of the animals in the new Meditation Garden.

Here's a few photos from Sunday. Enjoy!

The Monday Funnies: Part II

Addendum to the Monday Funnies: This is not exactly the Monday Funnies as usual, as in Monday Funnies jokes.

But it is Monday Fun.

Yesterday we held the "Blessing of the Animals" at St. Paul's in honor of St. Francis's Feast Day. Our guests included two two hamsters, one fish, and assorted dogs and cats, and they brought their people, too.

We had a lot of fun sprinkling everyone with water. Maybe next year someone will bring a

llama?

Here are some photos by Lori of the happy event.

Enjoy your Monday!
