About this organization
St. Francis of Assisi grew up in a prosperous cloth merchant family in Assisi, Italy in the late 1100's; he gave up his possessions, to work with the poor and the outcasts, especially the lepers. His entire life was guided by simplicity and humility. He was a joyful person who loved people and nature. he dedicated much of his life to promoting respect and appreciation for the environment, especially birds and animals, and to this day St. Francis is considered the patron saint of ecology. St. Francis was guided by a deep love for God and everything God created. He was also a troubadour who wrote many hymns and prayers and knew the joys that music brings to the world. One of his deepest spiritual experiences was when he heard the call to renew the church.
