ST FRANCIS DAY
12.00 NOON
SUNDAY 2 October
You may notice something odd at St. John’s in Burke Road Camberwell this Sunday as we celebrate St Francis Day.
A procession of animals – dogs and cats,
guinea pigs, rabbits and reptiles –
will come to church for a special
'Blessing of the Pets' at noon.
The custom honours St. Francis of Assisi
and his love for all creatures
and celebrates the loving bond
we share with our pets.
