Even though we’re not the most religious people, the story of St. Francis has special significance for us. Here’s why:

The Jerry and St. Francis Connection

Tripawds founder Jerry earned his wings on October 3, which is the same day that St. Francis of Assisi was laid to rest in the year 1226.

Also known as Giovanni Francesco Bernardone, this Franciscan friar is also known to Catholics as the patron saint of animals, the environment and Italy.

It is customary for Catholic churches to hold ceremonies honoring animals around his feast day of October fourth.

Shortly after Jerry earned his wings on October 3rd, we realized why he chose that time to leave; to honor St. Francis, which he explains in this blog entry:

“I had to be there for him.

My people now believe that I let them know it was my time last week because I needed to sit at the feet of St. Francis while we blessed all the animals, brought to all the churches, everywhere, last Sunday. Which we did.”

Although St. Francis is mostly honored by Catholics, many non-Catholics also pay homage to his significant contribution to the overall health and welfare of animals at a very early time in human history. His compassion and care for all types of creatures set an example for people to acknowledge the beauty and significance of animals and recognize them as unique, sentient beings worthy of kindness and love.

Where would we be without him today?
