Blessing of the Animals

Every year I take my dog Constance to the Blessing of the Animals at a nearby church.  We meet dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets (even one time a fish in a bowl!) and have a wonderful time celebrating St. Francis and his love for all animals.

This year I was contacted by Ginger Berstrom, Family Ministry and Communications Director at The Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul in Charleston, South Carolina.  She wanted to use some of my animal drawings to design a poster and door hangers promoting their Blessing of the Animals service.  I was happy to be able to contribute in a small way to this good cause, and delighted with the end result.  I think Ginger did a great job incorporating my drawings into the materials and I hope you think so too!
