Padre Pio was canonized by Pope John Paul II on June 16, 2002, three decades after the cause for canonization was first opened. There are thousands of miracles attributed to St. Padre Pio's intercession, and that his relics are coming here is a blessing to many of Toronto's faithful.
ARCAT found a prayer card from early on in St. Padre Pio's cause for canonization, which includes a small third-class relic. The back asks those who received favours through Padre Pio's intercession to write to the Postulator so that it could be presented as proof to be further investigated by Rome.
