Close to 100 creatures brought their owners to Thompson Square on Sunday, October 2 for the Blessing of the Animals.  Father Ronan and Tom led the assembly in prayers of thanksgiving for our pets and for all of God’s creation, and animals, including some beloved stuffed animals, were blessed. Thank you to Rosemary Kverek, who makes this annual event such a great success, with her planning, promoting, and designing of the certificates that were handed out.
