BLESSED AND BELOVED
Fur parents and their beloved pets gather for a pet blessing at Malate Church in Manila on 04 October 2026, coinciding with the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. The date is also observed as World Animal Day, an annual global occasion that raises awareness about animal welfare, celebrates the human-animal bond, and encourages people to promote kindness and responsible care for animals.
