The tour of the relics of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina – better known as Padre Pio – will resume in several Archdioceses and Dioceses in the United States and Canada this year from May 1 to June 15 and again from September 15 to November 15. The 2019 tour follows the last two years’ sensational and headline-making tours that attracted more than a half million of the faithful.

The relics of Saint Pio available for public veneration include:
- His glove
- The crusts of his wounds
- Cotton gauze bearing his blood stains
- A lock of his hair

“We are indeed grateful to all of those who have helped us to bring the relics of Padre Pio to so many faithful in these past two years. The most important fact, in our opinion, was that the majority of those attending the tour of the relics of Padre Pio would never be able to travel to San Giovanni Rotondo or Pietrelcina to visit the places where our Saint was born, lived, and died. It has, therefore, become a mission for us to enable these faithful devotees to have a ‘spiritual encounter’ with Padre Pio,” said President and CEO Luciano Lamonarca.
