Irving Houle, the man who was simply known as “Francis” was given the stigmata on Good Friday, 1993 at the age of 67. On January 3rd 2009 he was called home by Our Heavenly Father.

His Mission was to suffer each night with the Passion of Jesus for the conversion of sinners and to touch souls for healing. It has been estimated that "Francis" had prayed individually over a 100,000 people. The Bishop of the diocese where Francis lived had met with him and monitored the work of Francis.

Francis never sought publicity or solicited or accepted any type of financial donations or financial support. He informed people that all healing comes from God and they should not look to him but to Our Lord Jesus Christ.

For additional information on Francis and his Mission of bringing people to Jesus Christ we recommend reading the book called “A Man Called Francis” by Father Robert J. Fox available from the Fatima Family Apostolate. You can contact them at www.fatimafamilyapostolate.org or call them at (800) 213-5541.
