Ballymoney church to hold special service to bless 'all creatures great and small'

Our Lady and St Patrick’s Catholic Church has organised a Blessing of Animals ceremony on Sunday, September 27 from 2-3pm.

The blessing event has taken place for a number of years and, open to the whole community, has grown in popularity.

This year, as well as the blessing, there will be some fun competitions including ‘Best Trick’, ‘Animal that looks Most Like its Owner’ and ‘Animal with the Naughtiest Confession’.
