•It was a happy, rainless occasion as pets and their families gathered on the lawn at St. John’s Church Georgetown Parish on Oct. 4, the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, for the annual Blessing of the Animals. Adoptables came from Capitol Canines and the Washington Humane Society. Following a brief service, Rector Gini Gerbasi and Associate Rector Sarah Duggan blessed each animal and remembered the departed. Courtney Stamm of Cheeky Puppy furnished pet treats and G’town Bites on O Street made certain that the two-legged were well fed.
