PADRE PIO

About Padre Pio

Padre Pio, a humble Capuchin priest born on 25 May 1887 at Pietrelcina in the Archdiocese of Benevento,
was blessed by God in many wonderful and mysterious ways.
The most dramatic was the stigmata. Padre Pio bore the wounds of Christ for fifty years!

Among his other gifts were bilocation, prophecy, conversion, reading of souls, and miraculous cures. People are still being cured through his intercession in ways that cannot be explained by medicine or science.
More important, if less spectacular, are the spiritual healings that take place in all parts of the world!
Padre Pio is a powerful intercessor!!

From his youth, his health was not very robust, and especially in the last years of his life it declined rapidly. Sister Death took him well prepared and serene on 23 September 1968 at the age of eighty-one. An extraordinary gathering of people attended his funeral.

At SkyRosaries we are proud to offer a special selection of custom designed rosaries by Ghirelli-Italy.
These are the same rosaries that you may find at the Saint Pio Shrine in Pietralcina Italy, as Ghirelli designed the official Saint Pio rosary.
