Pets blessed at Trinity Church in Menlo Park
Original: Pets take center stage — and get blessed — at Trinity Church in Menlo Park
Trinity Church in Menlo Park held a blessing of the animals service, welcoming pets and their owners into the church for a ceremonial blessing. The event, reported by local outlet InMenlo, put animals at the center of the congregation for the day. Such blessings are traditionally held around the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
Why now: The charming local tradition of blessing animals draws warm attention and seasonal interest, likely around St. Francis Day.
