St. Anthony Foundation is hosting its annual Blessing of the Animals event on Wednesday, October 4 from 10 am – 1 pm outside of St. Boniface Church along the Golden Gate Greenway, the 100 block of Golden Gate Avenue. The public is invited to bring their pets – whether four-legged, scaled, or winged – for a special benediction from a Franciscan Friar. Photos and stuffed animals are gladly welcome, and no signups are needed; all services will be walk-up.
