Pope Francis and Saint Francis of Assisi are deeply connected by their shared values of humility, service, and a profound commitment to helping the poor.

Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226) was the founder of the Franciscan Order and is one of the most beloved saints in Christianity. He renounced his wealthy upbringing to live a life of simplicity, prayer, and service to the needy. He’s also known for his love of nature and animals, seeing all of creation as a reflection of God’s goodness.

Pope Francis, elected in 2013, chose his papal name in honor of Saint Francis. His choice was symbolic—it signified his desire to lead with humility and to prioritize the needs of the marginalized, much like Saint Francis did. Since becoming pope, he has emphasized themes of social justice, environmental care, and interfaith dialogue, urging the world to be more compassionate and inclusive.

Their connection reflects a long-standing tradition of service, faith, and a dedication to lifting up the most vulnerable in society.
