Several groups are planning pet blessings this weekend:

• St. Andrew's and the Humane Society offer a blessing of the animals and St. Francis Day fair and picnic 12:30-2 p.m. Saturday. The Very Rev. Timothy W. Sexton, Provost, leads the service to bless pets and other animals. Cathedral Choir and Organ will perform; a free lunch is provided. Participants must have their animals on a leash or in a carrier during the event; Mike Lee, 542-3347.

• Unity Church of Hawai'i, which resurrected its Blessing of the Animals in 2006, will celebrate its third annual event with ceremony at 3 p.m. Sunday at Kapiolani Park, across from Waikiki School (look for the banner off Monsarrat Avenue). Bring your feline, canine, bird, or other animal companion — or a photograph, if your pet doesn't travel well; 735-4436.
