Welcome

to the

Saint Francis: A Stewardship Saint for Our Time

On October 3, 1226,

St. Francis died, leaving as his legacy a deep

love for creation, and a spirituality that

embraces simplicity and love for the

poor.


Fondly remembered as the saint who embraced the

glory of creation, Francis

is the patron saint of ecology

and a model steward for our present age.


Francis was a bold and inspired man. He saw the generosity and love of God who created us and

gives us everything. He recognized all creation as the

original outpouring of

God’s love into the world.


Francis was a good steward to

his neighbor. He famously embraced a

leper he met on the roadway,

even though he deeply feared

the disease. He clothed, fed and loved the poor.


Francis felt that he encountered Christ himself in

the poor and marginalized.

He believed that God is found in everyone and in all of creation.Our Pope and

Mother Theresa (now Saint

Theresa) followed

his example.


St. Francis left us, along with a

deep love for creation, with a spirituality that embraces the

generosity and love of God, a

life of simplicity, love for the poor

and service to each other.
