**Thank you to all those who came out to bless their pets on the day. We had a wonderful day meeting dogs, cats, gold fish, a carpet python and a surprise visit with a Horse from the Equestrian Centre, all who received their blessing from the priests. We were delighted to welcome the impressive Mounted Police who spent some time with us. The children enjoyed the many craft and entertainment activities. I don’t have to mention that the food stalls were popular with home-made sweets and sausage sizzles selling out fast. Thankyou to Robert McGrath for taking photos. Robert was kept busy throughout the event and you can view the photos online at www.itsoutnow.com.
