PADRE PIO FEAST DAY FESTIVITIES:

We are very excited to welcome you to our Padre Pio Feast Day festivities on Wednesday, September 23!

On Wednesday, September 23, we are open from 9 AM to 4:30 PM. We will have indoor Mass at 10:30 AM offered by Bishop Efren Esmilla, Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia, and simultaneous outdoor Mass offered by Fr. Mathew George, the Centre’s chaplain. 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.

Beginning on the afternoon of Thursday, September 17, we will be unable to accept orders or prayer intentions over the phone. To submit your intentions or place an order, visit our website, www.padrepio.org. If you do not have access to the internet and need to speak to a person, we will resume answering phones as normal on Monday, September 28. We appreciate your anticipated understanding and patience. God bless you!
