Spotted: Animals being blessed at Trinity Church in Menlo Park
On or around October 4, Christians worldwide celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis with a blessing of animals and prayers for creation.
Locally, such a blessing took place yesterday at Trinity Church in Menlo Park with the Reverends Jude Harmon and Edward Lowe presiding.
In addition, to the blessings that took place on the church’s courtyard, there was a caricaturist there to capture children with their pets, including the stuffed kind.

Why do we get this info after the fact? I check out In Menlo all of the time and this event was not mentioned.
