Pope Saint Pius X
“Born poor and humble of heart,
“Undaunted champion of the Catholic Faith,
“Zealous to restore all things in Christ,
“Crowned a holy life with a holy death”[1]
Who was Pope Saint Pius X?
This is the story of a Pope who refused to stay buried in the annals of history. The boy who became Pope always worked with the image of Mother Church and her founder Jesus Christ before him, leading the way, as if on a path, beckoning him to follow. He never ceased being the boy who worked and struggled endlessly to keep alive the true teachings of the Church!
How long we have waited to know more about Pope Pius X! It is awesome and a little more than exciting to discover how many Popes have succeeded St. Peter, to whom Our Lord gave the keys of His Church, making him our first Pope. I cannot help feeling my heart swell as our research brings us to the road our Pope Pius X trod, along with those who preceded him and those who faithfully followed after him. When we attempt to explain that our Church has had an uninterrupted history dating back to when Jesus walked the earth, commissioning the Apostles to carry on and spread the Good News that He is with us till the end of the world, we need only turn to the unbroken, unending succession of our Popes.
Allow us to bring you the story and life of Pope Pius X, the 257th Pope to fill St. Peter’s Chair as Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, serving at a crucial and disturbing time from 1903-1914. Pope Pius X was the first Pope, since the Counter-Reformation Pope Pius V (1566-72) to be canonized. As his story commences, we pray you will see why Mother Church chose to so honor him. We must say, we are greatly humbled to have the great privilege to write the story of so special a Pope, who did so much to bring about reforms, which are still enriching our Church till today.
