The Mission
“We are indeed grateful to all of those who have helped us to bring the relics of Padre Pio to so many faithful in these past two years. The most important fact, in our opinion, was that the majority of those attending the tour of the relics of Padre Pio would never be able to travel to San Giovanni Rotondo or Pietrelcina to visit the places where our Saint was born, lived, and died. It has, therefore, become a mission for us to enable these faithful devotees to have a 'spiritual encounter' with Padre Pio.”
--President and CEO Luciano Lamonarca

The tour of the relics of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, better known as Padre Pio, will be at Christ the King on Friday, September 27, 2019.
The relics of Saint Pio available for public veneration include:
- His glove
- The crusts of his wounds
- Cotton gauze bearing his blood stains
- A lock of his hair
- His mantle
- His handkerchief soaked with his sweat only hours before he died
Pilgrims will have the opportunity to touch their religious articles to the reliquaries; however, Padre Pio's mantle will be available for viewing only.
