A SCHOOL feast day and animal blessing at St Louis de Montfort’s, Aspendale, last week featured a blessing of the animals’ mass. On the day, families brought along pets, including dogs, cats, mice, bunnies, lizards, turtles and a variety of birds. School animals Milo the goat, as well as chickens and bunnies, also received a blessing. The event coincided with the school’s Chinese Culture Open Day and enrolment day. It also complemented the Chinese Mandarin LOTE program. All classes were involved in the day of cultural activities, which included kite making and flying, scratch dragon magnets and craft, Chinese lanterns, cooking spring rolls, Chinese paper fans and cooking fried won-tons. “It was a great day and the students had a wonderful time celebrating St Louis’s 50th Anniversary Feast Day,” wellbeing environment and student leadership teacher Julie Wynne said.
