For the first time in the United States, faithful across the five-county Archdiocese are invited to venerate a full-size, authentic sacred habit worn by St. Pio of Pietrelcina. This rare and historic opportunity will take place at the National Centre for Padre Pio in Barto from Saturday, Oct. 11, through Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025.
The habit, an enduring symbol of Padre Pio’s humility and devotion, will arrive from the Capuchin Friary in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, and be displayed at the Centre, which has been designated a Jubilee site within the Diocese of Allentown.
