Padre Pio

St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio)

"A humble Franciscan priest spent almost his entire priesthood in a convent in a small village in Southern Italy yet, when he died, thousands came to walk past the coffin of the saintly man.... What was it about this simple priest that attracted people from all parts of the world?"

This half-hour documentary covers the life of Padre Pio - a Franciscan priest living in Italy during the 20th century. He rarely spoke in public, performed no miracles, yet he attracted thousands to himself - they came to assist at his Masses and to meet him in the confessional. For them it was a spiritual meeting - a meeting of souls. Padre Pio had the gift to read souls and to bring alive to them the message of Christ crucified.

He bore the stigmata of the crucified Christ and humbly obeyed the Holy See when, for two years he was forbidden contact with those seeking his ministry. The works of Padre Pio continue to touch the hearts of people today- let his story touch your heart too.
