This event marks the culmination of significant preparation and collaboration with the St Pio Foundation. As the beautiful Abbey, this year, commemorates the 50th anniversary of its total restoration; now is the perfect time to celebrate this connection between St Pio and Holycross Abbey.

Five relics will be on display: St Pio’s Crust of the Wounds, a lock of his hair, a piece of his Mantle, his white fingerless glove, and his handkerchief.

On Saturday May 24th, the relics will be available for veneration from 10:00am to 8:00pm.
On Sunday May 25th, the relics will be available for veneration at 9:00am, followed by our traditional St. Pio Day events, beginning at 1:30pm. The day will culminate with Mass in honour of St Pio at 3:00pm, followed by continued veneration until 8:00pm at which point the Abbey will close and the relics will be returned to the St. Pio Foundation.

Given that Holycross Abbey will be the only place in Ireland, where these relics will be available for veneration, a large number of pilgrims are expected, and the Abbey is truly privileged to have been chosen to host this remarkable event.

Holycross Abbey look forward to welcoming all pilgrims, and should anyone require additional information or promotional material, please feel free to contact Tel: 0504-43124 (Monday to Friday office hours) or by email at hbparishoffice@gmail.com.
