St. Francis

St. Francis, pray for us.

One of our first posts, on October 1, 2008, was in preparation of Saint Francis' feast day. Shortly after that, we posted our "after" pictures of our St. Francis feast day celebration.


Waltzing Matilda has a magnificent coloring page that we have used.


Apostleship of prayer has a  narrated slide show that can be watched.
It takes just a quick second to load.


And, Saint of the Day has a short audio for this feast day.


For a great craft, Catholic Icing is the place to go. I think we are going to try a St. Francis spoon saint tomorrow.


I am printing some Saint Francis Trading Cards tonight from That Resource Site. There are also plenty of other resources for this feast day there as well.

Start by doing what is necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. ~St. Francis of Assisi

ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI- OCT. 4

Here is a nice simple packet of St. Francis of Assisi printables. (updated info as the coloring page previous linked is broken)


Don't forget the short story and activity page that you can print out mentioned in our previous St. Francis post. (http://www.pflaum.com/preview3/godsheroes.pdf)

I set a few things out on the table before I went to bed the night before. I knew the boys would be up before me and this would remind them that it is St. Francis' feast day.

Paul was very excited to wake up in the morning to the table all set. It is his St. Francis statue on the table. He has a fondness for St. Francis. They have a love of animals in common. Dad read the story of St. Francis and the Wolf to the boys. They loved it. It had plenty of adventure. With the ferocious wolf and all, they were hooked.




And, finally, Mark colored this nice St. Francis picture for us. I thought he did a great job!

St. Francis of Assisi - planning ahead

This Saturday, October 4th, is the Feast Day for St. Francis of Assisi. I don't want to get overwhelmed, so we are just going to spend a bit of time taking extra care of our pets in his honor- showing love for God's creatures.

I also came across this offering from Phlaum Publishing.

Scroll down to the book titled "God's Heroes' and you can print up the first sample story and activity- featuring none other than St. Francis himself!
