Beloved Edgerton and Wainwright Pets Blessed and Remembered

On October 6, the nearest Sunday to the Feast Day of Francis Of Assisi, the communities of St. Thomas, Wainwright and St. Mary’s, Edgerton celebrated God’s gifts of animals in our lives. Although we gave thanks for all animals in general, we gave specific thanks for the blessing of the pets in our lives. We lit candles in memory of pets that have enriched our lives in the past. All pets present were on their best behaviour (except Beethoven at St. Mary’s who insisted on singing the song of his people) and their humans managed to the follow their good example.
