Noah filled his ark two by two; on Sunday, we filled Walker Court woof by woof with a handful of meows and chirps.

The Blessing of the Animals every October is one of the most beloved events in the Cathedral calendar, and yesterday’s afternoon service didn’t disappoint.

For the uninitiated out there, the  annual service occurs the Sunday closest to October 4, when the church honors St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and all creation.

We’ll let the photos from Colin S. Johnson do the talking. For the record, no humans were injured during the making of this service.
