Four-legged and Feathered Friends Blessed at All Saints’, Drayton Valley

People of all ages, of All Saints’, Drayton Valley, brought their four-legged and feathered friends to participate in a Blessings of the Animals service to commemorate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on the afternoon of October 3. People brought donations for the local animal rescue Cause for Critters, which strives “to provide the absolute best care we can to our resident animals who are awaiting their forever families.” Every dog, cat and parrot present received a blessing for a life of joy with their families.
