The Blessing of 
All Creatures Great & Small 
We celebrated our second annual pet blessing in honor of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi on Sunday, October 30 2011. St. Francis of Assisi lived in the 12th century and is the patron saint of animals. The Feast of St. Francis is October 4. To commemorate this day, many churches in the U.S. and around the world hold special animal blessing ceremonies on or around this date.
Here is an article on the Cadillac News website.

A group of five intrepid volunteers from First Congregational travelled to South Dakota to build relationships with some of the Lakota people there. 

They gained a valuable insight into the Lakota culture, while giving some practical help by building decking and adding much-needed skirting to trailers.
