Please like this page to receive a full range of real information about the often undercover subject of animal mistreatment. "Institutionalized cruelty does everything it can to conceal the fact that it is destroying its victims, and in doing this it keeps its spectators from feeling disgust and from being confused by the paradox of trying to justify the unjustifiable, of trying to praise the smashing of the weak."

THE PATRON SAINT OF ANIMALS

When it comes to animals and creation, one saint is especially remembered for his deep love and care for God’s creatures: St. Francis of Assisi.

Born in Assisi, Italy, around 1181–1182, St. Francis gave up a life of wealth and privilege to follow Christ in poverty, humility, and simplicity. His profound reverence for creation led him to see animals not merely as possessions, but as fellow creatures of God.

Francis famously preached to birds and is often depicted surrounded by animals. Tradition also associates him with the story of the Wolf of Gubbio, a fierce wolf that he is said to have approached peacefully and reconciled with the people of the town.

Because of his extraordinary love for creation, St. Francis of Assisi is widely recognized as the patron saint of animals, ecology, and the environment.

His example reminds Christians that care for creation is also an expression of gratitude to the Creator. As Pope Francis wrote in Laudato Si’, St. Francis “was a mystic and a pilgrim who lived in simplicity and in wonderful harmony with God, with others, with nature and with himself.”

On his feast day, October 4, many communities celebrate the Blessing of Animals, entrusting pets and other creatures to God’s loving care.
