Pope Pius V was beatified one hundred years to the day after his death on May 1, 1672, and was later canonized on May 22, 1712. History remembers him as a man strongly committed to God, the Church, his religious order, and the people of God. He is widely known as a leading figure of the Counter-Reformation who worked to defend Catholic teaching in a time of major religious conflict.

Compared to a full-length Catholic biography, this minibook presents the essential historical facts in a shorter, more accessible format. It is a practical choice for readers who want a brief saint profile for devotional reading, parish libraries, homeschooling, RCIA enrichment, or discussion after Mass. We thank You, Lord Jesus, for giving us this great Defender of the Faith at a time when we needed him desperately.
