Pope St. Pius V (1504-1572) was born in Italy to a humble family. From a young age, he was formed and well educated by the Dominicans. He entered the order and was ordained a priest at the age of 24. He then taught philosophy and theology for more than 15 years.
Throughout his time as a priest, professor, and later bishop, he was known for the time he spent in prayer, his commitment to fasting and his zeal for the truth. When he was elected pope, Pius was tasked with implementing the reforms and decrees of the Council of Trent. The council ended in 1563 and he became pope in 1566.
