Episode Details

As a saint of the 20th century, Padre Pio feels closer to us than many saints—and his recent example makes the call to holiness remarkably real. Conor sits down with Luciano Lamonarca, founder of the Saint Pio Foundation, to explore the extraordinary life of one of the Church’s most beloved modern saints. Luciano shares a personal story of how Padre Pio has worked in his own life, while discussing the saint’s stigmata, his supernatural knowledge in the confessional, his remarkable sanctity, and much more.
