St Francis Biography

Did you know that Saint Francis was once a knight in shining armor in his youth? Born in Assisi in 1182, he renounced his wealth after a carefree childhood and committed his life to God.  He led a life of evangelical poverty while preaching the love of God to all.  Establishing a way of living which a number of his companions followed, his order gained the approval of the Holy See.  He founded an order of nuns and a society of laypersons who practice penance while living in the world.  He died in 1226.   Feastday: Oct. 4th
