Celebrate St. Francis Day
October 4, 2023!
St Francis, who founded the Catholic Church’s Franciscan order, lived in Italy during the late 12th and 13th centuries. He is remembered for his generosity to the poor and his willingness to minister to the lepers.
He is also remembered for his deep love for animals and nature. St Francis died at Portiuncula, Italy on October 4, 1226.
St Francis is the patron saint of animals. Places of worship offer animal blessing services, usually held on or around annually on October 4th. The services may include a verbal blessing, gathering and holy water. They are usually held at a place where different animals can gather.
Some organizers ask people to bring animal food, treats or blankets to be donated to their local animal shelter at these events. Sign up to volunteer at your local shelter.
