October 9, 1958
I was almost 10 years old. I can still remember the news coverage of Pope Pius XII’s death. His memory is, for us, a happy one. His time as Vicar of Christ’s Church Militant was, for him, surely a difficult and terrible time – especially during World War II.
May Eugenio Pacelli, His Holiness Pius XII, of Happy Memory rest in peace. Deo Gratias.
