We are delighted to be able to offer again the opportunity to host the annual St. Pio National Pilgrimage here at the Abbey. We are privileged to be associated with St. Pio and honoured to have the Stations of the Cross especially commissioned to honour his memory here with us. Ireland today needs people of faith to give witness after the example of St. Pio to generations who do not have the conviction of previous times. We know that many people still have great devotion to St. Pio in their own lives and in the lives of their family and friends. After the experience of the last three years of the covid pandemic and with the current upheaval in Europe, prayer is never more needed.
The Padre Pio Pilgrimage to Holycross takes place on Sunday 29th May 2022. The programme for the day is as follows:
1.30pm – Public recitation of the Rosary.
1.45pm – Stations of the Cross.
2.30pm – Sacrament of the Sick.
3.00pm – Concelebrated Mass. Chief Celebrant: Archbishop Kieran O’Reilly
4.00pm – Conclusion and Final Blessing.
We look forward to seeing you all in Holycross on Sunday 29th May.
