Bring Padre Pio’s relics to you!   A tour of Padre Pio’s relics is in  process of being organized for 2017 & they're open to hearing from churches that would like to host the relics for public veneration for a day or so. 

It is more economical for them if they can make several stops within an area or a state, so spread word to churches in your state. For more information about hosting relic tour contact Katia Felty at 570-259-9903 or Rynoles@gmail.com.
