CHURCHES in Selsey and Fernhurst have welcomed in unusual congregations for St Francis Tide animal services.

The Blessing of Animals service at St Peter’s Church, Selsey, on Thursday was a simple occasion designed to celebrate the feast day of St Francis of Assisi.

Father Andy Wilkes, the new parish priest, has been ordained for six years but this was the first time he has held such a service.
