"Thank you" to everyone who celebrated St. Francis Day, Blessing of the Animals with us!
Rev. Dr. Norman Knowles was gleeming as he welcomed all the furry, four legged visitors, big and small, to
St. Michael & All Angels Anglican Parish.
There's a series of 4 mini reels, of this special Celtic Service. Tail wags, lots of licks, and playfulness filled the Church aisle this joyful day!
The mule, Oh Henry, was brought by owner, Zoe MacBean. He was shy about entering the Church, but enjoyed the attention in the courtyard and sidewalk on Willow and Mill Street. We informed Gloria, he only ate one flower in the Church garden!🌸🌿
Tourists were quite thrilled to see Oh Henry on the sidewalk and cute doggies prancing out of the church, as they took photos of Downtown Chemainus.
We were all blessed with a sunshine day, the Holy Spirit, and smiles all around.🐾
