Pet Blessing @ My Church 4 Attachment(s) Today, Biggie and I participated in a pet blessing at my church. Just a little background on the occasion... "Christians everywhere celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi on October 4 by blessing their pets in the spirit of this patron saint of animals and ecology. This custom is conducted in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures." It was the 1st one our church ever had. Does anyone else's church do this as well? There was A LOT of other dogs there, cats, hamsters, birds, but Biggie was the only Yorkie! :aimeeyork Some pix from the blessing... The priests said a prayer and read a passage from the Bible. Then they came around and sprinkled Holy Water on all the pets and their owners. Biggie was very well behaved, despite some of the bigger dogs barking at him.. hehe. |
Thats really cool. My church doesn't do it, but i went with my cousin one time when her church did it. |

WoW, that is neat, our church has never done anything like that , but maybe if it is suggested they may next year. By the way great pics, your Biggie is a doll... |
Wow great pictures. Are church has never done that. |
I took Gus to church to get him blessed about a month after I got him. |
Really cute!! Although I really think Yorkies are born blessed.. Well, actually I guess we are the ones that get the blessing.. :) :) |
What a great idea. I've never heard of it. Thanks for the pictures. |
Yes, My church has been doing it for years. I will take pictures becuase we do it on the actual feast day. It is neat to see all the pets at church. |
