It is usually done on or near the Feast of St Francis, which is annually on October 4. St James Cathedral always holds their blessing on the Saturday closest to Oct 4, so this year it was on Sept 29.

I'm thinking maybe I can get them blessed, and then when I get to hell and rip them out (see previous post about needgod.com), maybe at least they'll make their way to Heaven.

I suggest bringing a person on a leash, dressed head to toe in leather and walking on all fours. The bobcat is a good idea, too.
