Andy, the Rector’s Dog
Hi, I’m Andy, the Rector’s dog. I was born on Cape Cod, but lived most of my life in Cambridge, Mass., until my family moved to New York City in 2007. I have always been a City Dog, but I really love New York!
I spend most of my days with Fr Blume, at the Church and meeting people out on our walks around the neighborhood and in the parks.
Just before Easter this year, I helped out at the Parish Work Day
... well I don’t know if help is exactly the right word.
In the Fall, I wasn’t able to make it to the Blessing of the Animals service, but I was lucky enough to get a blessing from Bishop Roskam when she visited Saint Ignatius on Michaelmas.

I greeted Bishop Roskam first, which is only polite... |

She gave me a blessing, |

and some cheese!!! |

On Sundays, I love coming to the coffee hour after the nine o'clock Mass
I also spend time in the Sacristy helping out with the preparations for Mass ...

When I am out and about, I meet lots of people and my work is never done ...

In the parish, I love going to special events like the Family Christmas Party

I love getting petted ...
|

I also love Christmas Cookies ...
but I knew I couldn’t
have any since they were for our Soup Kitchen guests.
|
It was hot last summer, so I spent much of my time lying around the Rector's office...

|

But I occasionally made it down to coffee hour.
|
I always get lots of love outside around the neighborhood ...
This past summer the Rector finally got a digital camera (welcome to the 21st-century, Dad) and has been taking new picture of the church for the website. Here William and I are waiting for him to finish shooting the Lady Shrine so he would have a picture both for the Church tour page and for the parish Facebook Group (whatever that is).

In July, I got a bit jealous when some new visitors dropped in and spent time with Gwendolyn
but happily for everyone they were adopted right away!
Here I am at the Conservatory Water with my boy William... 
...and waiting patiently while the Rector shows a visitor around the Church.
I really enjoy hanging out at church. Here I am getting pats from parishoners on Rogation Sunday 2007 at the Church of the Advent in Boston. Check back often for more of my new life as a New York parson's dog.
Please visit my friends, the Cats of the Church of the Advent in Boston.
