St. Francis de Sales
St. Francis de Chantal
and many others
Saint Francis of Assisi, who (this may be disagreed with) is most well known, is the founder of the Franciscan Order and patron saint of such things as the environment and pets. He is well known mostly because of the order which he founded after a life of richness in Assisi, his home town. He was born to a merchant and enjoyed a rich childhood and his young adult life was plagued with sin. He partied frivolously, may have used women, and was unkind to the poor and sick. He eventually had a change of heart and gave up all possessions, devoting his entire life to God and poverty, as well as charity. It is said that he even went to the Bishop with no clothes to show his poverty. This poverty is still followed by his order wherein the friars or religious give up all possessions and cannot even handle money. They are a flourishing order and thus he is still well known today.
