"Prayer is the best weapon we have. It is a key that opens God's heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to him with you heart." - St. Padre Pio

Today this great Capuchin Saint is a bright beacon for all of us.  We are privileged to follow in his footsteps, and to conduct our lives and ministries by the light of his guidance. 

St. Pio bore the wounds of Christ crucified upon his body. They were a constant source of pain, but also a constant reminder of the sufferings of humanity. Now, as then, there are countless people in dire need of help. Now, as then, we Capuchin Franciscans are called upon to help those who are suffering.

Friend, in honor of St. Padre Pio, we will begin celebrating a Novena of Masses on his Feast Day, September 23, 2023.
