Today is the feast day of St. Pius of Pietrelcina, commonly known as Padre Pio.

Fun Fact: Some stories relate that Padre Pio was seen airborne by airplane pilots flying during WWII (He had the gift of bi-location). Padre Pio is better known, however, for his wisdom as a confessor.
St. Padre Pio, pray for us!
