On Sunday, October 1, 2017, Christ the King conducted its fifth annual Blessing of Pets service in the parking lot. Pet Blessing services are traditionally held around October 4, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, who is known for his love of all of God’s creatures. Pastor Matthew Groenke blessed one cat and 23 dogs, under the watchful eye of their 38 owners and friends in attendance.
