Throughout my daily life I turn to him for help. He helps to relieve my stress and to assist me through my struggles. I am very excited for Sebastian to be my patron saint and to help me through the Confirmation process. He was martyred for his faith, so I admire him. His faith was so strong that he was willing to die rather than let go of his beliefs. In my opinion, he paid the ultimate price. I pray that Sebastian will help me have that same courage every day to speak the Lord’s word and to spread the Catholic faith. The bravery that Saint Sebastian showed is inspiration to me to live my life for Christ and through

Saint Francis of Assisi was born in Assisi, Italy in 1181. His mother named him Giovanni after John the Baptist, but his father did not want his child to be a ‘Man of God’

Saint Francis of Assisi had a great childhood, but as he got older his father began to beat him. He lived the life of luxury, and was the the son of a very rich cloth merchant. He was born in Circa, Italy in 1181. He abandoned the life of luxury, for a life devoted to Christianity, and God. He was very devoted into living in poverty, and he rebuilt the Christian church. He is the patron Saint of ecology and animals. He wanted to go to the Christian church reportedly after hearing God’s voice. He insisted that this was his calling and his adulthood confirmed it.

St. Francis of Assisi was born in Umbria in the year 1182. He was a child every father hoped for, he was filled with life, a determined and courageous individual. He was gifted with rather good looks, qualities that attracted friends and a gift of leadership. His father was an extremely wealthy merchant in Assisi. But this son, his favourite, was the one who broke Peter Bernardone’s heart. The boy turned on his father, and in a vicious event that eventually resulted into a public scene. St. Francis of Assisi stepped away from his father, his business and left his father in a state of immense emotional suffering.

Giovanni Bernardone, more widely known as Francis of Assisi, was a Catholic friar that founded the Franciscan Order in the early thirteenth century. The Franciscan Order, under the spiritual guidance and teachings of Francis and his disciples, became one of the largest sects of the Catholic church today. Francis’ teachings brought about a reform in the Catholic church that changed ideas on grace and salvation of the Christian

Francis was on this planet a very long time ago, but he had a huge impact on religion. Francis lived for about forty four years and he went through changes for a good reason. In the year of 1202, Francis went

Saint Ambrose was a bishop of Milan who became one of the most influential ecclesiastical figures of the 4th century. Ambrose was not expected to be a bishop. People just kinda called him out to be one and from what I remember he wasn’t too sure about it. He often gave to the poor because he saw that giving to the poor was needed because according to him he thinks that everybody should get food because it all came from god.

Saint Francis had made many sacrifices throughout his life. His biggest and most impactful sacrifice was his devotion to religion. I decided to choose this topic of Francis because I can relate to it in some ways. I have grown up in a house with two different religions. My mom is Christian and my father is Muslim. My parents have always told me do what you believe and I was never pressured into choosing a certain faith. Throughout my life thus far I have gone to many different pastors, and many different Imams,” Muslim pastor.” I devoted a lot of my time studying the two religions, so I can have a better understanding of the two and picking my faith. Francis also devoted time to Christianity, but he didn’t just devote his time he devoted his entire life to Christianity and to teach others about God.

The city of Assisi is inextricably linked to the name of a Saint who was born there, that is Saint Francis. Born in a very wealthy family, his father being a successful merchant, young Francis renounces his paternal heritage to dedicate his life to God, the divine father. His decision to abandon all worldly possessions marks the beginning of a completely new way of life: an existence of absolute poverty, humility and penitence. Followed by an increasing number of friars who adopted his lifestyle, the Franciscan Order took form, preaching being their highest concern. In fact, as it was peculiar to the Mendicant Orders, the friars would travel to spread Saint Francis’ word, namely a message of peace. Assisi was not the only background against

St. Francis of Paola was born in Paola, Italy on March 27,1416. He was named after his patron saint, Saint Francis of Assisi. He lived in Paola for most of his life and was given the gift of prophecy. At twelve years old he stood out. He spent an entire year with the franciscans. St Francis was compassionate towards animals and even was a vegan. He lived in solitude for six years and then founded the Roman Catholic Order of Minims. The Minims

The next important event was after he was discovered to be a Christian he was sentenced to be executed. He was shot with arrows and left to die. Saint Sebastian survived his execution with the help of God. The next important event in his life was when the Roman emperor

St. Anthony was born in Lisbon in 1195 and was baptized "Ferdinand." His parents were of nobility. Some writers of the fifteenth century posited that his father was Martin Bouillon, a descendant of the famous Godfrey de Bouillon, commander of the First Crusade; and his mother, Theresa Tavejra, was a descendant of Froila I, fourth king of Asturia. However, this genealogy is unproven. Nevertheless, his parents were faithful and sought to hand their faith onto their son. He also was privileged to receive his early education at the cathedral school of Lisbon.

Throughout St. Francis of Assisi’s life, many events took place that made him into the Saint that he is known as today. The main theme in Francis’ life to me was choosing to leave back his life of luxury and social status to devote his life to christianity through poverty. Everything else in Francis’ life and conversion was a result of this one decision that he had made.
