October 4 was the Feast of St Francis of Assisi, and how better to celebrate it than by a blessing for the animals who bring joy to our Residents!
Bishop Francis Roque, one of our Residents’ Priests, very graciously accepted to perform a ceremony on this Tuesday afternoon.
As you can see in the pictures, Milly was very pleased to bring her birds along; despite her 99 years she never fails to feed her little friends, and to keep their cages clean. With a little help from Shirley, all three were brought down to the auditorium in their cages.
