The day will begin with a welcome at 10am, followed by a full day of talks, prayer Mass and blessed with the Padre Pio Glove. See full schedule below.

May Jesus comfort you
in all your afflictions.
May He sustain you in dangers,
watch over you always with His grace,
and indicate the safe path
that leads to eternal salvation.
And may He render you
always dearer to His Divine Heart
and always more worthy of Paradise.
Amen.
