Animals and their humans came to the Church of St. Francis of Assisi in NYC for the Blessing of Animals that takes place every year on the first Sunday of October. In the Roman Catholic Church, St. Francis of Assisi is patron saint of animals, merchants and ecology. This year broke an all time record of attendees who seek better horizons and better health for the upcoming year. (C) Bianca Otero
