PADRE PIO CELEBRATION IN PERTH On Saturday August 3 at 4 pm, His Grace Archbishop Barry Hickey will celebrate vigil Holy Mass in All Saints Chapel, 77 Allendale Square. An invitation is extended to all to attend. Mass will be preceded by a small procession of the statue of Padre Pio. The procession will start at the Chapel steps and proceed under cover around the Allendale Plaza. The stained glass window will be blessed at the beginning of Mass.
T
he saintly friar of Pietrelcina, Italy, Padre Pio, is no stranger in Perth. Well known throughout the world, he also has his devotees and "spiritual children" here in great numbers as well. The number of people who stop and pray before his small statue in All Saints Chapel is evidence of the fact. His image was among the first chosen saints for the stained glass windows for the enhancement of the Chapel. Progress with the stained glass windows in All Saints Chapel continues with the third window of Saint Padre Pio having been recently installed to mark his canonisation on June 16 in Rome. Commemorating this great saint for our times, the portrayal of his stigmata and Eucharistic and Marian devotion are principal features incorporated in the artistic work. Devotion to Padre Pio, now St Pio, gives great consolation to a great many people locally. All the community derives many spiritual benefits as well. Padre Pio tells us how to participate at Mass: "As Our Lady, St. John and the pious women did on Calvary with love and compassion." "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the Holy Mass."
