In 1970, Padre Pio’s secretary and friend, Mary Pyle, helped secure relics of Padre Pio for St. John the Baptist Church. These relics include a cloth that was used to absorb the blood from his sacred stigmata, which still bears the stain, and a fingerless woolen glove worn by Padre Pio. St. John the Baptist opened the shrine in 2002, after Padre Pio’s canonization, and has housed these relics ever since. St. John the Baptist Church is hopeful that the new shrine will accommodate visitors who visit the Midtown Church to honor and pray to Padre Pio.
