Relic Tour 2025

A Rare Spiritual Encounter: Padre Pio’s Habit Comes to America

For the first time in history, an authentic full-size habit worn by Saint Padre Pio will leave Italy and travel to the United States—accompanied by the Capuchin friars from his home friary in San Giovanni Rotondo.

This sacred relic, brought by the friars of Our Lady of Grace Capuchin Friary, offers the faithful a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to venerate an extraordinary sign of Padre Pio’s life of prayer, humility, and sacrifice.

The Padre Pio Foundation of America and the National Centre for Padre Pio are honored to host this historic spiritual tour. Together, we invite you to join us for a time of prayer, reflection, and devotion as we welcome Padre Francesco Dileo, OFM Cap., Provincial Minister of the Capuchin Friars in San Giovanni Rotondo, along with a second sacred relic.

We hope you’ll join us in prayer, veneration, and thanksgiving for the life and legacy of our beloved friend, Padre Pio.
