Saint Pius X
Pope ( 
1914 Anno Domini A.D.) Feast: 21 August
Saints Who Promoted Eucharistic Devotion
"Those who have charge of the children should zealously see to it that after their First Communion 
🫓 these children frequently approach the Holy Table, even daily if possible, as Jesus Christ and Mother Church 
desire, and let this be done with a devotion becoming their age." Giuseppe Sarto was the oldest of nine children. Ordained a priest in 1858, he became Pope Pius X in 1903.

In 1910, Pius X fulfilled a long-held desire to lower the age of First Communion. Inspired by the miraculous events surrounding a little Irish girl 
known as Nellie of God-who had a special Eucharistic devotion and whose body remained incorrupt after her death at age four-he issued the decree "Quam Singulari" (which means "how singular" or "how special", in reference to Jesus' love 
for children). Pius commanded pastors to read the decree to their congregation every year at Easter time.
