Pope Sullivan X Research Paper
Saint Pope Pius X (born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto) was born on June 2, 1835 in Riese, Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, Austrian Empire.

The second involved Sr. Benedetta De Maria, who had cancer, and in a novena started in 1938, she eventually touched a relic statue of Pius X and was cured. These miracles were approved by Pope Pius XII and was beautified on June 3, 1951. Three years later, he was canonized on May 29, 1954 by Pope Pius XII.
