"Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

-St. Francis of Assisi

St. Francis of Assisi is one of the most well known and loved saints. Founder of the Franciscan order, animal lover and church reformer.  He heard God ask him to "rebuild his church"- so St. Francis went and did just that!  He founded an order dedicated to living humbly and walking in the footsteps of Christ.  St. Francis of Assisi also received the stigmata- the wounds of Christ on his hands, feet and side- from a six winged fiery angel!
