September 3 is Saint Gregory the Great’s feast day!
Saint Gregory was born in Rome around the year 540, and became Chief Magistrate of the city at the age of 34. He built 6 monasteries in Sicily, and another seventh in Rome. At the age of 35, he then became a priest.
Eventually, Saint Gregory went on to become Pope, and was unanimously elected. Above all else, he is most well-known for his contributions to the Liturgy of the Mass and Office, and is considered one of the four great Doctors of the Latin Church.
