Shepherd's Corner's Animals are Blessed!
Friday, October 4th there was a blessing of the animals at Shepherd's Corner, in celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The sheep, llama, chickens, and all the creatures who visit the land were thanked for their gifts they share with us and blessed with water, reverencing their life purpose in our communal creation. Please see a few pictures from the day here.
