Padre Pio

A priest makes an extraordinary claim: the dried blood of another saint turns liquid as soon as Padre Pio's relics are brought to an Iligan monastery.

Claims of supernatural occurrences were attributed to him even after his death. Monsanto said Cagayan de Oro priests hope that the display of the reliquary image will encourage Catholics to regularly go to confession and fast, which Padre Pio was known for. CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines – Thousands of religious devotees have flocked to the Saint Augustine Metropolitan Cathedral in Cagayan de Oro since Wednesday, February 8, to see one of the reliquary images of the Italian saint Padre Pio.
