October 11 2024:: It rained this morning. It was cool in the afternoon and by evening was bright and warm so I decided to take walk in the park.
What a delight. The evening was clean, clear and crisp almost like a water color painting. It looked like God made this Kinta Valley his secret garden!!!!... wow.
The owners and pets gather around Fr Joseph for a prayer followed by blessing
The annual
special ceremony called the Blessing of Pets was held on 6th October
2024. This custom is conducted in remembrance of Saint Francis of Assisi’s love
for all creatures.
St Francis of Assisi is the Catholic Church's
patron saint of animals and the environment. The event was held outside St
Joseph’s chapel at OMPH’s backyard field at 3pm.
Rev Fr Joseph
Stephens blessed the menagerie of pets including those that showed up late. Though
the main pets were dogs but there was a few cats and one who brought his bird.
It may have
been traumatic for the pets seeing so many ‘strangers’ outside of their usual
habitat. However their owners were very happy ‘introducing them’ to the family church.
