Topics: All Saints Erin, Blessing of Animals

When Rascal the miniature horse arrives for St. Francis of Assisi’s Blessing of the Animals, you know you are in a rural parish.

This very well behaved horse, as well as a number of dogs attended All Saints (Erin) on a beautifully crisp Fall day.

Thankfully, no additional cleaning of the Church was necessary.
