I am so glad to hear that! In the past few years St. Padre Pio has become one of my favorites.

Can’t wait to see him in Philly 🙂
 
This is awesome! However, I have one correction for the list of dates and locations. The first Diocese of Bridgeport location should be the Basilica of Saint John the Evangelist in Stamford, CT. This is a beautiful church, and I happy to say that one of the days that the relic will be there is Saint Pio’s feast day itself.

I can’t wait! May God bless you all! 🙂

I would love to hear about that sometime! But yes, I am very sad he won’t be coming down to the deep south.:bighanky:
 
Scroll down to see more about St. Pio at St. Andrew’s Church in Pasadena.

Since the relics will be here on a Thursday and Friday, and since I would also like to see this church, considered an architectural masterpiece in these parts, I plan to go. There, I’ve talked myself into it :).

Thanks for posting! 👍

Beautiful pictures of St. Andrew’s Church! Thanks for posting them.
 
Am I correct in saying that what will be displayed are second-class relics – a fingerless glove, part of bedding, a cloth used to clean – and not first-class relics of the saint himself?
 
Boston, MA (CNA/EWTN News) - “I’m very excited to announce that the Capuchin Friars who run the Shrine of St. Padre Pio have offered to come to Boston with the heart of Padre Pio for his feast day this year,” Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston announced in a Sept. 2 post on his blog.

“This is the first time any major relic of Padre Pio has left Italy, and we are so pleased that they have offered to come to Boston for this historic visit. We know that many people throughout our country have a great devotion to Padre Pio, so the friars have made this possible especially for those who are not able to travel to San Giovanni Rotondo in Italy to venerate his relics and pray for his intercession,” he added.
 
Was just at the 12:05 Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Sts Peter & Paul in Philly.

Mass in the Chapel was PACKED and many more were in the main nave venerating.

Here are two pics from the main Sanctuary where two of St Padre Pio’s relics. There was a third relic in the Chapel being venerated after Mass… everyone was kneeling at the altar rail as Monsignor walked the relic around from person to person.

I think the gloves which St. Pio used have his blood on them from the stigmata, and so they are both second and first class relics. Second class since he wore the gloves, and first class from his blood.

My mother-in-law i Ireland (she’s deceased now) had a bloody glove of his. Her cousin’s son was a friar at San Giovanni Rotondo, and a good friend of Father Alessio, who stayed at the cousin’s home in Dublin on holidays.
Every time someone in the village would come down with serious illness, she would snip a piece and give them to use as a sort of sacramental to pray for healing.
Eventually, every little bit was gone. Joe lamented that when she got cancer, they didn’t have even a little piece left, but I think believe that since she did not hoard it, but shared this gift with many, she was received favorably by the Most High.
We have a big devotion to Padre Pio. He rocks!
