The Philippine Centre for St. Pio of Pietrelcina
More commonly known as the St. Pio Centre) is one of the eleven centers under the Our Lady of Grace Friary in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy.
The St. Pio Centre is a non-stock, non-profit organization established and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1983, principally to promote religious devotion to St. Pio of Pietrelcina.
Our main goals are centered on encouraging the formation of St. Pio prayer groups all over the country and further advancing the awareness of the Filipino people with regard to the social and charitable programs of the late St. Pio. We foster, solicit and encourage devotion to St. Pio, and spread his good works with the help of charitable contributions from the public.
The St. Pio Centre was given the privilege of having a number of relics of St. Pio, including his hair, habit, gloves, and gauzes with blood stains, entrusted by the Capuchin Friars of Our Lady of Grace Friary in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy. These relics are venerated after our Masses at St. Pio Chapel.
