NOW: Pets of all sizes receive blessings on St. Francis Day

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Pets of all different sizes filled the parking lot of St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care Tuesday for the blessing of the animals.

It's an annual tradition that usually occurs on St. Francis Day, celebrating the patron saint of animals.
