No. That superstition is about St. Joseph.
This quote is commonly attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, although there is no direct evidence that he said these exact words. The phrase emphasizes the importance of living out one's faith through actions, rather than just words.
Francis loved all of nature - plants, animals, the Sun, Moon and stars, wind, rain, etc.. Long before the term ecology became popular Francis understood better that anyone the wonderous way that all of creation was linked and interwoven. Read some of the hymns attributed to St. Francis for a better understanding: Canticle of the Sun, All Creatures of Our God and King, for example.
St. Francis of Assisi is a role model because he is one of the most amazing saints in the church he went against his rich father and the things he had to become a person with nothing who helped people and it was St Francis who god told to rebuild his church.

Yes He was the first Eco-warrior as he fought to save the planet. he is now the Patron Saint of animals and Ecology. . Heavens no, he lived 700 years before anyone even thought of being an activist for the environment. St. Francis of Assisi was an activist for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, if some of his actions looked like the current activities of an eco-warrior that is nothing more than modern romanticizing and trying to use current language that would make no sense back in his day and age. St. Francis was above all a Catholic Mystic, which is someone so deep into prayer that they look a little mad to the world around them, but that comes from holiness which the world is incapable of understanding.

Franciswas born at Assisi, in Umbria, in 1181. One amongst the seven children of Pietro di Bernardone and his wife Pica Bourlemont, his father was out on a business trip at the time of his birth. Pica had the child baptized as Giovanni di Bernardone, in honor of Saint John the Baptist. She wanted her son to become a great religious leader in the future. When Pietroreturned from his trip, he wasfurious at the act of his wife and renamed his son as Francesco. He wanted his son to be a man of business, who would reflect his infatuation with France, rather than be a man of God. Francis displayed an affable and charming personality, right from childhood. He had the instincts of being a leader and was neither controlled nor taught by anyone. See link below:
