Calling all critters and pets! St. Peter’s annual Blessing of the Pets is October 4th at St. Peter school.  Blessing of the pets is in honor of St. Francis of Assisi; he is the patron saint of animals and the environment. He loved all creatures and he even preached to the birds. Students bring all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to rabbits and goats. Blessing of the Pets is when Father comes and blesses all the pets present. Some of the things some of the students really enjoy about Blessing of the Pets is bringing their pets to school and also getting to see their friends' pets.
