St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226)
St. Francis of Assisi was a rich Italian’s son who led a carefree life. As a soldier, he was taken prisoner by enemies for a year. After his release, he heard Jesus calling him to rebuild God’s House. St. Francis sold everything and went around preaching about Jesus. He had a group of followers whom became the Franciscans. St. Francis loved all of God’s creation. He even preached to the birds! He is the patron saint of animals. His feast day is on 4 October.

We check your website every morning for a quick Saint of Day story to start our homeschooling day. The kids love the images and I love that they have a great quote associated with each Saint. They all look for their patron saints and Marian feast days they were born on. Just wondering if you have a chance some day, could you make Mary, Help of Christians? Thank you for the website.
