In observance of the birth of Our Lord, the Centre CLOSES at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, December 23, and is CLOSED from Wednesday, December 24 through Friday, December 26. We will reopen on Saturday, December 27th at 9:00 AM.

On behalf of the Calandra family and all of the staff of the National Centre for Padre Pio, we wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.”

It is with extremely sad and heavy hearts that we announce that we are CLOSED on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, as all staff will be attending the funeral for Victoria (Rocus) Bellegue, granddaughter of Centre founders Vera M. & Harry E. Calandra, and oldest daughter of Christina Calandra Rocus. In addition to being a member of the Calandra family, Victoria was also a longtime staff member here at the Centre, along with her mother and sister, Christiana (Rocus) Mohn. Please keep Victoria’s husband, daughter, parents, sister, and entire family in your prayers.
