Saint Andrew's School celebrated Saint Francis Day by having three Blessing of the Animals services in the Chapel of Saint Andrew the Apostle. On Tuesday, October 14, two horses from the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office were blessed by Father Ben Anthony. Lower School and Middle School families came together on October 16 and 17 to have their pets blessed by Father Ben, Reverend Taylor, and Dr. Panella. Some of the pets that were blessed included dogs, cats, miniature horses, turtles, birds, snails, and even a goat!
