LI Herald Highlights Pet Blessing

Community Events, Liturgical, Parish Life /

The LI Herard carried a story with lots of pictures from our Annual Pet Blessing held on October 8th. You can see the full story and pictures by clicking here.

East Meadow residents brought their furry friends down to St. Francis Polish Catholic National Church on Oct. 8 for the traditional blessing of the animals service.

Parishioners gathered inside the church at its 1752 Harton Avenue location in East Meadow, just like any other church day, except this time they were surrounded by a few extra family members. The ceremony — that started at 1 p.m. — was open to all types of pets, but it was only dogs who came down. 

The ceremony was hosted by The Rev. Andrew Koterba, who started off with prayers for the animal’s health and well-being, and later walked around blessing them.

Pet blessing services, which are traditionally held in early October, mark the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment who lived in the late 12th and early 13th centuries…
