Let us gather for a special morning dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. How fast does your heart beat for Jesus? Listen to what Padre Pio tells us about his: “My heart beats very fast whenever I am with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. It sometimes seems to me that it will leap out of my chest.” Our retreat includes refreshments, two conferences, Mass, Exposition and Benediction, opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. There is no cost to attend this retreat; however, it is a ticketed event. Click HERE to reserve your tickets. Bring your own packed lunch or pre-order and pre-pay $14.99 for a boxed lunch when registering for your ticket. For further information, please contact angela@padrepio.org.

At the conclusion of the 10:30 AM indoor Mass, we will have our festive St. Pio procession (weather permitting!) through the grounds of the Centre, before offering another Mass at 1:30 PM in the Spirituality Centre.

Throughout the day, we will have food available for purchase, Italian festival music, and relic veneration in Our Lady of Grace chapel all hours we are open both days.
