N. Armstrong St., in Kokomo (in the Lafayette diocese), from 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Sept. 16. Mass will follow at 6 p.m.

St. Padre Pio was an Italian Capuchin priest born in 1887. He was known for his piety and charity, and for bearing the stigmata—the nail markings of Christ on his hands and feet, as well as the spear mark on his side—from 1918 until his death in 1968.

During a visit in 1947, Father Karol Wojtyla was told by Padre Pio that he would rise to the highest post in the Church. The Polish priest became Pope John Paul II in 1978. He declared Padre Pio a saint in 2002.

St. Padre Pio is the patron of civil defense volunteers, adolescents and his home village of Pietrelcina. His feast day is Sept. 23.
