Perhaps Lent is a good time for us to take a look in the mirror.

Padre Pio was known for spending long periods of time in the confessional. It has been estimated that he heard two million confessions. He did not, however, allow this ministry to get in the way of his prayer life.

They’re compassionate doctors. Inspiring teachers. Committed advocates for justice. Steady guides on the spiritual path. Catholic sisters in America simply can’t be stereotyped.

On this journey, we will be accompanied by St. Pio of Pietrelcina, more commonly known as Padre Pio. This humble Capuchin friar embodied the true spirit of walking with Christ throughout his life.


Despite our imperfections, God looks on the preparations of our hearts.
