National Centre for St. Padre Pio

The National Centre for St. Padre Pio in Barto, Pennsylvania is a pilgrimage shrine within the Diocese of Allentown whose grounds are modeled after Padre Pio's own friary in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy. It houses the largest collection of authentic Padre Pio relics in the United States, including the Our Lady of Grace Chapel, a historically faithful replica of his sanctuary. Mass is celebrated weekday mornings, drawing pilgrims who come to seek the intercession of the canonized Capuchin saint.
