The Baldwin community has its fair share of pets. But since it’s hard for a cat, dog or rabbit to make their way down to the local parish during the week, St. Christopher’s Church held its annual Blessing of the Pets event last Sunday.

Msgr. Steven Camp blessed a variety of animals on the day in front of the church off Merrick Road. Parishioners and pets alike were grateful for the opportunity.
