SPCA celebrates 125 years of service

A march up Auckland's Queen St by animals and their handlers next month will help kick off 125th anniversary celebrations for the SPCA in Auckland.

The week-long celebration would begin on October 4 with a formal anniversary dinner at the historic church of St Matthew-in-the-City.

The following day the Queen St parade begins the celebrations before a thanksgiving church service in St Matthews.

It would also include a 'Blessing of the Animals' service held annually to mark the Feast of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
