I met Padre Pio is an initiative that intendes to heighten awareness of Padre Pio and his legacy by sharing the recollections and stories of those that have met him first hand, or that have been visited by Padre Pio's soul and spirituality during their their journeys.
The leader of this initiative, Msgr. Hilary C. Franco, in his capacity as Honorary Advocate of the Saint Pio Foundation, has agreed to share with us an experience with Padre Pio that he had more than 60 years ago when he was a 20 year-old priest. We invite everyone, who has met Padre Pio or who has been visited by Padre Pio "virtually," to record a video clip and to share his or her own story with us.
