The title “Great” has been assessed to only two popes, St. Leo and Saint Gregory. Saint Gregory the Great was also known as Gregory I; Father of the Fathers. ... His father was a wealthy senator, member of the government, so Gregory was an active church member, and he received a thorough education. ...
When Gregory was thirty-four years old, Emperor Justin the Younger appointed him as Chief Magistrate of Rome.
When Gregory’s father died he used his inheritance to build six monasteries in Sicily. ... It later became the Benedictine Monastery of Saint Andrew.
When he was 35, Gregory became a monk.
