Blessing the beasts

The Rev. Kevin Novack of St. Columba Catholic Parish ventured to Mercy Regional Medical Center on Wednesday afternoon to bless dozens of therapy dogs used to comfort patients at the hospital and Mercy’s cancer center. Organizer Stephanie Dial said the second annual event was timed to coincide with the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on Saturday. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals.
