Our friars serving at St. Anne Church (Columbus, GA) offered special blessings for each animal and its family during the annual Blessing of Animals. The tradition of blessing animals is conducted in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures. (Click to see more photos from St. Anne)
