Adelia Award
-
-
The Saint Pio Award was established to recognize the selfless and outstanding contributions by those individuals who have served as extraordinary examples in “providing relief from suffering to those in need.”
Starting from the 2021, the Saint Pio Award took officially the name of Adelia Award. The “Adelia” takes its name from Adelia Maria McAlpin Pyle, who was one of the closest friends of Padre Pio. Adelia, or “Mary” as she was better known, converted to Catholicism and used her wealth to build a new church, a monastery, and a seminary in Pietrelcina.
The Adelia Award is recognized to those who have supported the Saint Pio Foundation, or those individuals who have served as extraordinary examples in “providing relief from suffering to those in need.”
