All creatures ...

There were some furry friends on campus Monday. Among them was Bingley, Jacqueline Sironen's Siberian Husky, who she brought for the Blessing of the Animals. The Blessing of the Animals ceremony is held in conjunction with the Feast of St. Francis, which falls on Oct. 4. Here, Chaplain Paul Sittason Stark blesses Bingley, as he did for a number of other pets, who enjoyed not only the beautiful fall day but a few treats as well.
