Blessing of the Animals Francis, the patron saint of animals and the environment, loved all of creation and has come to symbolize peace, justice and the need to protect the environment. Every year on a day in early October, Villa Michelle invites the public to bring their animals of all kinds to a ceremony in the Parque de Próceres in Mayaguez where a priest blesses each and every animal. These have included in the past, not only dogs and cats, but also canaries, hamsters, rabbits, a horse, and a mouse! |
