Jan. 31, 2015 – Caleb Cedrone, 22, a senior acting major in Boston University’s College of Fine Arts, eats dinner – mac and cheese to-go from Panera Bread – on the floor of a room in the CFA building at 855 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, Mass., before show time on the opening night of his senior thesis.

The Blessing of the Animals service recognizes that the animals with whom

we share this planet are important to us, to God, and we are blessed by their

presence in our lives.
