Do you guys also remember papal birthdays? Just wondering if July 16th is free from the clutter of lesser events.

- Pope Piel I (b. 7-16-49)

LOL. Nope, the only birthdays we remember are Jesus', Mary's, and John the Baptist's (June 24th). We have memorials of several popes throughout the year though (St. Peter, St. Pius V, St. Pius X for example).

We will gladly assign you a birthday that fits into the calendar, if that is what you desire. We tend to celebrate when pope's die, however.

Not usually. But many of their feast days are commerative of the days of their deaths.

Sorry, it is already spoken for. It's the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
