October 4 - Feast of St. Francis of Assisi

St. Francis is one of the most well known and beloved saints. He was the founder of the Franciscan Order of which Father Mathew is a Third Order Member.

St. Francis is known as the patron of animals and this is why Catholic Churches will traditionally conduct blessing of pets/animals at or near his feast day.
