Fourteen dogs and one very brave cat join church service

Fourteen dogs and one very brave cat were welcomed to the pet service at St Francis of Assisi church in Terriers, High Wycombe.

The service was held to celebrate St Francis Day and the congregation included the vicar's own furry friend, Chelsea.

The Revd Azita Jabbari said: "Since our church is in Terriers, we thought it would be fun to see just how many terriers we could bless — and we did have a few! The church was full of wagging tails, happy faces, and the wonderful noise of God’s creation joining in worship. It was a delightful occasion — a chance to thank God for our pets, the joy they bring, and the community we share here in Terriers.

"St Francis would have loved it!"
