Feast of Blessed Pope Pius IX
Date: 7th February 2026 00:00
Today is the feast of Blessed Pope Pius IX. Pope Pius IX was the Pope at the time Don Bosco was establishing the Society of St Francis de Sales.
He is informally known as "Don Bosco's Pope" within the Salesians.
O God,
who gave your servant, Blessed Pius IX, Pope,
the spirit of fortitude in adversity,
and enabled him to enter more deeply into the pure faith of the Church,
grant through his intercession,
that we may be filled with the same spirit and live with the same devotion.
Through Our Lord.
Amen
