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
