Do you have a great Bless our furry friends VIC made product? BY TIFFANY PILCHER
THERE will be a flurry of fur and feathers at two local churches for the annual Blessing of the Animals celebrations on October 6. The blessing is held all over the world to recognise St Assisi’s love of all creatures and events will take place at Drysdale’s St James Church and Mount Duneed’s St Wilfrid’s Anglican Church. St James church member Pauline Cline said everyone is invited to the Drysdale event and can bring their pet for a blessing but need not stay for the remainder of the morning service if they or their pet would prefer to return home. “Bowls of water will be available for the furry friends to drink and no doubt the event will be a
noisy affair,” she said. “This ceremony is a great opportunity to acknowledge the joy and companionship that pets bring to our lives and follows a time honoured tradition in remembrance of St Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals.” The annual Festival of St Francis Blessing of the Animals will be held at St James Church, Collins Street (Portarlington Road) Drysdale at the commencement of regular service at 10.30am. For further information contact Reverend Myers on 0468 381 529. The St Wilfrid’s Anglican Church event will be held at the corner of Surf Coast Highway and Lower Duneed Road Mount Duneed from noon. For further information contact Anne Bartlett on 5264 1092.
