Bulletin inserts for October 4 celebrate blessings of animals - and animals as blessings

September 28, 2009 [Episcopal News Service] Episcopal Life Weekly bulletin inserts for October 4 mark the connection between blessing companion animals on the Feast of St. Francis and providing the blessing of animals for families in impoverished communities through Episcopal Relief and Development's Gifts for Life program. The inserts outline how Episcopalians may provide animals such as goats, chickens and bees that can make the difference between poverty and self-sufficiency for a family.
