As a child he suffered from a swelling which endangered the sight of one of his eyes. His parents had recourse to Francis of Assisi for a cure, and made a vow that their son should pass an entire year in the habit of St Francis in one of the monasteries of his order, a not uncommon practice in the Middle Ages. Francis entered a monastery of the Franciscan Order in order to fulfill the vow made by his parents. At the comple- tion of the year he went with his parents on a pilgrimage to Assisi, Rome, and other places of devotion. Returning to Paola, he selected a spot on his father’s land, and there lived in solitude; later he went to live in a cave on the sea coast. Here he remained alone for about six years giving himself to prayer and mortification. In 1435 two companions joined him, neighbors built them three cells and a chapel in which a priest from the parish L-R: Revere City Councilor Ira Novoselsky; Rep.
