MARFA — St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will continue the tradition of the annual Blessing of the Animals in celebration of St. Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Animals. All are invited to bring your beloved critters to the courthouse lawn in Marfa — dogs, cats, iguanas, hedgehogs, etc.
The bottom line is, you bring it, they’ll bless it! And if children want to bring a favorite stuffed animal, they will bless those as well.
This free event will be Saturday, October 5, 10 a.m. to noon at the Presidio County Courthouse in Marfa. All pets must be on a leash or in a carrier. Everyone is invited! Attendees are also encouraged to bring food, toys and other pet supplies, which will be donated to Grand Companions in Fort Davis and the Alpine Humane Society.
