What a great turnout! The parishioners of Holy Family and their companion animals came out in full force on Saturday. (The unofficial count is 17 dogs, 11 cats, and one rubber chicken.)
Father Keith did a wonderful job, first blessing all Animals of the World,
those to the North, to the East, to the South, and to the West.

Kristin, our Parish Administrative Assistant, gets a blessing for her dog.
Lee and her kitties...
Grendel behaved so well! I was very proud of him.There was a wonderful service with music, and they played Grendel's favorite hymn, "All Creatures of Our Lord and King"! There were doggie and cat treats for the quadrupeds, and other treats for the bipeds. ("Don't get them mixed up," Father Keith urged us.)
This is Kathleen's beagle. Isn't she lovely?

Lovely pictures, Agha.
Wow. It looks like you had a swell time. I wish I could have been there.
Love,

Rowan, Grendel says that he would love to meet you, and not just to bite you. He thinks you are great!
Can Scout play with Grendel and Rowan (when Rowan is out of quarantine?)
Oh, gosh. Grendel has been so good lately that it gives me hope he may want to play with other dogs.
And he cried when I told him about Rowan.
Scout's ears went down. She is so sad about Rowan.
