Saint Charles Borromeo was raised up by God to be one of the chief instruments of the true Reformation of The Church in the 16th-Century. It was greatly to his wisdom that The Council of Trent was happily concluded.
Made a Cardinal at the age of twenty-three, he soon became Archbishop of Milan (Introit, Epistle, Gradual, Communion, Offertory). He held Synods and Councils, established Colleges and Communities, renewed the spirit of his Clergy and of Monasteries, and Founded Asylums for the Poor and Orphans.
The most remarkable of his works was the creation of Diocesan Seminaries, whose Rules were adopted in all those that were instituted later. He died in 1584.
