Bring your pets to the parking lot area to partici- pate in the Blessing, which takes place at 1 p.m. Before and after the main event, head inside for light refreshments and an open house from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., where you can meet humane society volunteers and animals. The South Paciic County Humane Society is located at 330 Second St. This year’s blessing will be conducted by Rev. Rich- ard Loop, the vicar at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Loop will bless the shelter animals and then come outside to bless visiting animals. All socialized animals are welcome. Pets may include dogs, cats, ish and birds. Some people choose to bring photos of their pets if it is dificult for their pets to attend the blessing. Families bring their pets to the shelter to be blessed on St. Francis’ Day because of his love for animals as expressed in his “Canticle of the Creatures.” Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi as an opportunity to teach children about endangered or abused animals and what can be done to help save these animals. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and the environment. Many celebrate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on Oct. 4 each year, commemorat- ing the life of St. Francis, who was born in the 12th century. He died on Oct. 4, 1226, and Pope Gregory IX pronounced Francis of Assisi a saint in 1228. This local Blessing of the Animals event is rec- ognized by the Washing- ton Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies through the Pawsitive Alli- ance. Donations of needed items for the humane society shelter and its animals are welcome at the Blessing event.
