One of the churches here in SA does a blessing of the animals during the holidays. It probably stopped during the curse of the coofid hoax, because I can't find anything about it for this season. Here are pics from a prior year. Even stuffed animals are eligible for blessing:

The blessing of animals is typically done on the feast day of St. Francis which is Oct 4, but it can be done on other days depending on Bishop of the diocese.

It's actually done by a protestant church, and after looking it up this morning I can't bloody find the link again.

St. Pius Catholic church used to do it in October, but I don't think they're doing it anymore.

I just remembered seeing it in an SA holiday calendar of events a few years ago, the peregrinacion, the day of animal blessings, etc., but things stopped during the coofid, and never resumed (which was the society destroying intention of the coofid hoax, IMO).

Good thing for today is... I got one section of many sections of 30 year old fence replaced today. It's an 85 foot section that has the main gate to the backyard. The gate has been pretty much out of order for a month or more. I do have a gate on the other side of the house, but it just isn't the main one.

Anyway I now have a working gate and a fence that isn't leaning. Now to save up some money and convince 4 other neighbors to go in half to replace the rest of the fence. That's like 150 feet of fence.

If those other neighbors are sharing the other side of the fence, you'd think they would like getting the job done for half the price they would have to pay.
