St. Pope Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchoiorre Sarto, was born in the small town of Riese the Kingdom of Lombardy, in what is now the province of Treviso, Italy, in 1835. He came from a larger family, having a total of nine siblings, of which he was the second oldest. The family was quite poor for the standards of the time, and relied on the income of Giuseppes father, a simple postman.This simple son of a postman would grow into one of the most influential Popes of our time.
