To raise much needed funds and at the same time celebrate the feast of St Francis and World Animal Day, the Island Sanctuary at Tas-Silġ, Marsa­xlokk, is holding an open day next Sunday from 10am onwards.

The event will end with Mass at 4.30pm. All those attending the Mass are invited to bring their pets along. After Mass, the pets will be blessed and a small token given to each family.

During the day there will be a bazaar, book sale, pet grooming, items for pets on sale, face painting, food and drinks.

Whoever would like to help by baking cakes, muffins, cup cakes, scones or biscuits (without cream due to the heat) may contact Graziella either on the sanctuary’s Facebook page or e-mail islandsanctuary fundraising@gmail.com.

Donations may also be made via text messaging by sending an SMS to 5061 7368 for €2.33, 5061 8082 for €4.66 or 5061 8935 for €6.99.
