St. Gregory I, Pope, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church

St. Gregory the Great transformed his house into a monastery and founded many others where the rule of St. Benedict was strictly observed. Elected in turn Abbot, Cardinal, and Supreme Pontiff, he was one of the greatest popes of the Middle Ages. To him belongs the honor of having collected those harmonious melodies called the "Gregorian Chant." St. Gregory is one of the four great Latin doctors. He died in 604.


We love you, Mom (Nana)!
