By Mary Fabyan Windeatt, this beautiful story of the life of St Pius X is well written for children. There is a colouring page opposite each page of the text. Young Joey knew he wanted to become a priest. After many long studies, he was ordained a priest forever. His mother was overjoyed to receive her son’s priestly blessing for the first time.Everyone loved Father Sarto. He was good with children, he preached wonderful sermons, and it seemed he was always giving away everything he had to the poor. But he regretted the fact that, back in those days, children could not receive Our lord in Holy Communion until age 12 or 14. Eventually Father Sarto was made a bishop, then a Cardinal—and finally the Holy Father, Pope Pius X! But he remained a humble farm boy at heart, and he still loved children. Soon he announced that boys and girls were to receive First Holy Communion at around age 7
