A procession of animals - everything from dogs and cats to hamsters and even horses - is led to churches every year for a special ceremony called the Blessing of Pets.
On Thursday, Oct. 4, St. Patrick's Episcopal Pre-school celebrated St. Francis of Assisi Day in recognition of St. Francis's love for all animals.
Each child was encouraged to bring their pet, a picture of their pet or a favorite stuffed animal to be blessed in a special ceremony by Fr. Chad Jones of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church in Zachary.
