The weather held out Sunday, October 2, for the Annual Blessing of the Animals at St. George's Episcopal Church on Ridgewood Road in Maplewood.
The Feast Day of St. Francis falls on October 4 and is commemorated on the closest Sunday. St George's once a year invites all animals of fin, fur and feathers to be blessed by church priests Bernie Poppe and Chris Carroll in the Lenten Garden.
