Welcome to Friends of St. Padre Pio
Friends of St. Padre Pio is committed to creating a lively community centred on the profound devotion to our patron saint, St. Padre Pio. Established in 2024 by Fr. George Parayil, and a team of dedicated volunteers of St. Padre Pio Parish, this initiative seeks to embrace individuals from diverse backgrounds and Catholic worship communities. We acknowledge the significant influence of our Parish, through the intercession of our patron saint, St. Padre Pio, and the spiritual legacy that it leaves with all those who visit our beautiful Church.
Who We Support
Our mission is to inspire and empower everyone—whether you are a lifelong parishioner, a newcomer seeking spiritual growth, or a visitor to our community. We believe that through the teachings and life of St. Padre Pio, and stories of his own faith journey and devotion to Christ, individuals can experience transformative change, drawing closer to their faith and finding solace in our shared community.
St. Padre Pio Parish: A Place of Healing and Prayer
Friends of St. Padre Pio was founded to acknowledge and embrace the desire many have to seek comfort and peace within our Parish community. We recognize that individuals are drawn to our Church not only for its beauty, but also for the healing and comfort they find through the intercession of St. Padre Pio.
Our Parish has witnessed numerous healings attributed to St. Padre Pio’s powerful intercession, and we are proud to house sacred relics, including the gloves worn by St. Padre Pio to cover the wounds of his stigmata. These relics, along with many other relics gifted to us by those who knew and cherished this beloved saint, serve as tangible connections to his extraordinary life.
We invite you to visit us, get involved, experience the serenity of our Parish community, and discover the peace that St. Padre Pio continues to offer through his enduring legacy and life of faith.
