Wednesday, August 10, 1910. Francesco Forgione (Padre Pio) ordained
St. Pio of Pietrelcina in 1919. In this rare photo, his hands are uncovered and his wounds are visible.
St. Pio of Pietrelcina was ordained a Priest. He was 23 years old.
Padre Pio in 1947.
Often in ill health, he was holy from an early age. During World War One, in which he was called into service multiple times, he became a stigmatic. He was a phenomenal modern saint.
