Dear Spiritual Children and Friends of Padre Pio,
The Lord give you His peace!
This letter is being sent with a plea, not just a request, for cooperation in the ongoing saga of trying to get an updated and efficient directory of the addresses of the Padre Pio Prayer Groups in the USA. Headquarters in San Giovanni Rotondo sends materials directly to Prayer Groups concerning Padre Pio. It is impossible to reach the groups in the USA since our “directory” remains not updated.
With this letter is a form, sent from San Giovanni Rotondo, to be filled out and sent directly to San Giovanni Rotondo. There is no need at this point to have signatures of the Ordinary of the Diocese or Spiritual Assistant of the existing Prayer Group since the forms are being sent by already approved and existing Groups. (The name of the local Ordinary should be printed on the form so that General Headquarters can have an updated name).
The cutoff date for the requested information is June 16, 2020, anniversary of the Canonization of Padre Pio. Groups listed in the Directory who have not sent the requested information will be considered not active and dropped from the mailing (emailing) list. Those whose information is not on the existing directory but have sent the forms filled out will be added to the “new” directory.
Please be careful to add all email addresses requested. Headquarters wants to notify Groups directly with news and material. These communications are usually from the General Director and/or are celebrations that are offered to the Groups to consider for use at their gatherings, and the like.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this ongoing matter that we have not been able to resolve for so many years.
With a prayer that Our Holy Mother and Padre Pio shower you with their love and protection, and that God in His Eternal Love bless you, your prayer groups, and your loved ones with an abundance of His…
Peace and Blessings
Fr. Francis A. Sariego, O.F.M. Cap.
National Coordinator.
