Memorial of St. Pius, OFM Cap

Pio of Pietrelcina (born Francesco Forgione; 25 May 1887 – 23 September 1968), widely known as Padre Pio (Italian for "Father Pius", Latin: Pater Pius) was an Italian friar of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, priest, stigmatist and mystic. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, renowned for his deep devotion to prayer, extensive ministry in the confessional, and bearing the physical wounds of Christ.

Padre Pio, pray for us.
