The Diocese of Wilmington pilgrims closed out October in the town of San Giovannni Rotondo.

The day began with Mass where Father Glenn Evers gave a homily on the theological virtue of hope.

After Mass, the hospitable staff of the English language office of the Monastery Shrine of Padre Pio shared an informative film on Padre Pio and gave the priests first class relics of the saint that they used to bless the pilgrims.
