For the first time in history, Padre Pio’s full-size habit will leave Italy and travel to the United States. This sacred relic will be accompanied by Padre Francesco Dileo, OFM Cap., Provincial Minister of the Capuchin Friars Minor, along with fellow friars from San Giovanni Rotondo, Padre Pio’s own friary.
We are honored to host this extraordinary event at Saint Pius X Catholic Church in Middletown, Connecticut. The Padre Pio Foundation of America headquarters in Cromwell, CT will also remain open during this time for visitors—though please note that the relics will not be present on Friday, October 17.
You are warmly invited to join us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for veneration, prayer, and spiritual renewal.
