Today is the day they bless all the animals at St. Francis in Hoboken, http://www.stfrancishoboken.com/ located at 308 Jefferson Street. The mass starts at 6pm and if you have never seen this, it is truly amazing. There will be at lease 100-150 animals at mass, everything from dogs and cats to hamsters and even birds. In most Church's this is typically done outside, this is one of the few Church's that actually invite all the animals inside. The love we give to a pet and receive from a pet is really special, so if you have a pet you will understand and appreciate this ceremony.
