The Sisters in Spirit Vigil is an annual national movement in Canada held on October 4th to honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, to raise awareness about the systemic violence they face, and show support for their families and communities.

The Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi is celebrated on Sunday October 4th, marking the 800th anniversary of his death with a call for world peace. Francis was born to a wealthy merchant family in 1181 but, after a dramatic conversion experience, he abandoned his privileged lifestyle to embrace a life of modesty, charity and service. Francis viewed nature as a mirror of God, calling all creatures his brothers and sisters. He is recognized for his profound love for animals, his advocacy for peace and simplicity, and as founder of the Franciscan order.
