Be sure to mark your calenders for the Blessing of the Animals being held on Saturday October 2, 2010 at 10:00 am.
A procession of animals, everything from dogs and cats to hamsters and even horses, is led to the church for a special ceremony called the Blessing of Pets. This custom is conducted in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures.
Our own Dr. Rick Rubinstein will be speaking immediately after the blessing. The event will be held at the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 834 S. Orange Blossom Trail, Apopka, FL.
Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.
