Blessing of the Animals October 7, 2017

More than 100 members of St. Catherine of Alexandria, and a like number of family pets, came to the church steps today for the 13th annual Blessing of the Animals, led by Deacon John. Amid the chaos, there were songs, readings and - as you might imagine - some barking. October 7, 2017
