Today in the Universal Church, we celebrate the memorial of Pope Paul VI, who was born Giovanni Battista Montini in Concesio in 1897. He was the Pope who guided the Church through one of the most transformative periods in modern Catholic history. He was elected in 1963 after the death of Pope John XXIII. He is most remembered for courageously continuing and concluding the Second Vatican Council and then implementing its reforms, however difficult they may have been.
