Marian Saints: Pio of Pietrelcina

Our Queen - Our Mother - with Paul Elarde

If you ask any to name a saint from the last 100 years, there’s a good chance they’ll say “St Padre Pio”. But who is this “St Padre Pio”, and why is he so popular?

In this episode of Our Queen, Our Mother: Paul presents the remarkable life of St Pio of Pietrelcina: his great sufferings, his mystical and miraculous experiences, and his loving devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
