Posted by reinadoxie in Journal.trackback
Last Sunday was a special day. It was the feast of St. Francis of Assisi and there was an animal fair at St Mary of the Angels. In the afternoon, there was a blessing for animals!
Dom was there.
Cute!
Puppy dachie! Makes me feel old.
There was a horse.
And a cow!
Someone brought her pet bird for blessing!
Someone was dressed as St Francis! Can you spot it?
And here’s me in the queue with dad waiting to be blessed.
Oh, and mummy bought me a new harness/dress.
I love it!!!
That looks like an interesting event with so many animals. I wonder if hammies can go for the blessing too

My Reina,
I am so glad you went & got blessed. We go to St James the Apostle every year but we didn’t make it this year….Not to worry Father Charlie said he would do a private blessing this weekend just for us. Last year there was a duck and a iguana….boy was he a big LIZARD. LOVE your boy Jacks
asta’s church was having similar blessing too. hmm… is that a normal for all the church to have blessing for animals on a special day?

Hi Reina,
Your new harness/dress looks great on you. Just the right dress for your blessing! St Mary is a bootiful church. My hoomans got married at Risen Christ.
Pink is your colour Reina! I like it on you!
How did the horse and the cow smell like? Nice?
Hi Reina,

How beautiful St Francis of Assisis was remembered and all the animals were blessed. You look more gorgeous than ever in your new dress and harness. Hope you and your hoomans have a great weekend.

What a pretty outfit you have one! I have a St. Francis medal from my mom’s friend which say “Bless my dog.” It looks like this:
