"What's happening is not only inhumane and morally reprehensible, it's economically irresponsible," Katherine said. "Killing is not a solution." FYI: The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation was founded by Katherine and her mom Nancy to celebrate the memory of their son and brother.

| Episcopal Church hosts service for pets, owners - MLive.com Posted: 01 Oct 2010 06:17 AM PDT Published: Friday, October 01, 2010, 9:00 AMFurry, feathered, and scaly companions are invited to receive a special blessing with their owners during a unique service Sunday, Oct. 3, at Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, 101 N. Walnut, Allegan. "We wish the animals, just like their owners, to know God's peace," senior lay leader Peter Corrigan said. "So we want to follow in the tradition of St. Francis of Assisi." The blessing ceremony is slated for 1 p.m outside the church tucked in downtown Allegan on the corner of Walnut and Hubbard streets. If it rains, the service will be held inside the church. "Legend and lore inform us that St. Francis was a great lover of all creations,"said William Whiting, rector of the parish. "He is widely considered the patron saint of all animals." Whiting and the Good Shepherd parishioners have held several animal blessing services at the church in recent years. The short service includes some scripture readings and prayers plus a blessing statement pronounced over each animal and owner. This year, there will also be some treats provided for any dogs and cats that attend. "Any individual is welcome to bring any animal to the service," Corrigan said. For more information about the animal blessing service at the church, call 269-673-2254 or 616-460-2249.
