Pet Blessings at Boni High Street and Eastwood (Oct. 4 & 5)
Posted by siyerwin on Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 3:15 PMThe Philippine Animal Welfare Society is mounting a series of PET BLESSINGS to celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals.
It will kick-off in the morning of October 4 with a private affair at the PAWS Shelter where the animals currently being cared for and rehabilitated by PAWS will be blessed (10.30am)
The other two blessings are for the public and will be held within a special Mass for the Animals at the Bonifacio High Street at 6:00 pm on October 4 (Sat) and at Eastwood Central Plaza at 5:00 pm on October 5 (Sun).
The Bonifacio High Street Pet Blessing sponsored by ALPO will be highlighted by a Candlelighting Ceremony and the renewal of pet owners’ commitment to their companion animals. This activity is part of PAWS’ participation in World Animal Day which also falls on October 4th.
On the other hand, guardians & their pets attending the Eastwood City Mass for the Animals will get a chance to join in the procession of a life-sized statue of St. Francis around the venue.
Offerings and collection will be done by PAWS' Dr. Dogs while music will be provided by the 92AD Choir.
The PAWS Animal Blessings are made possible with the generous help of Frontline Plus, Krispy Kreme, Bayopet, Shopaholic Pooch.com and the Philippine Star Pet Life Section.
Per request of parishioners, PAWS will also give a special talk on Responsible Pet Ownership and Animal Welfare at the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral (ICC) in Pasig City at 12:45 pm on October 4, 2008.
