Pietrelcina pilgrims honor Padre Pio with walk to Benevento

In Pietrelcina, Italy, a traditional religious pilgrimage was held on August 10 to honor Padre Pio. The event involved a group of faithful walking from his birthplace to the Cathedral of Benevento, following the same route the saint took in 1910 to prepare for his priestly ordination.

The pilgrimage, organized by the Sanctuary of Santa Maria degli Angeli, passed through several local areas now connected by the Cammino della Pace road. Archbishop Michele Autuoro of Benevento presided over the commemorative Eucharistic celebration at the Cathedral to mark the anniversary of the historical journey.
