Welcome back to Holy Donors! This season we're featuring someone who is likely a crowd favorite, St. Francis of Assisi. While St. Francis is well-known and well-loved, our hosts aim to focus on parts of St. Francis's life that listeners might not know as much about.
In this episode, we hear stories about Francis's childhood, his family, and his fun-loving friends. St. Francis grew up with immense wealth, and it wasn't until he had two conversion experiences in his youth that he considered a life different from that of his family, different from his father's expectations. Instead, St. Francis heard God's call to repair and rebuild the Church.
How does St. Francis repair and rebuild? Join us next week to find out!
