Blessings sought on animals

By Margaret Maccoll

The Church of the Holy Nativity at Cooroy marked the feast day of St Francis of Assisi at their Sunday service with the blessing of animals.
Reverend Dr Beverley Jayne led the service which was adapted to focus on pets, farm animals and wildlife and those who care for them.
About 30 people attended, and most had a dog or two. Kallistar and Charlotte brought along their pet hen, Fried. Sadly the chicken’s brothers, Scrambled and Poached, didn’t make it.
