Francesco's Friendly World



St. Dominic meeting St. Francis

St. Thomas More School adopts a saint every year. This year's Saint is my personal favorite: St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis is admirable in my eyes mostly because of his willingness to repair the church without breaking it apart like Luther did.

One of Jack and Gus's favorite videos is Francesco's Friendly world. This 41 minute cartoon video tells the story of St. Francis and how he rebuilt the chapel of San Damiano. There are numerous "cutesy" songs that children ages 2-9 would enjoy. Keep in mind...this is not high quality video, but will capture your child's imagination and maybe even teach them a thing or two about this wonderful Catholic Saint. Another great Christmas gift option.....
