This resource provides ideas for using St. Francis Day as an
opportunity to broaden awareness of our obligations as Christians to care
for our fellow creatures -- companion animals, farm animals, and wild
animals -- with mercy and compassion. It provides scriptural and
liturgical resources as well as a list of ten things parishes can do, and
ten things parishoners can do, to improve the lot of animals on St.
Francis Day and throughout the year.
