St Pio’s holy glove - which many believe to have healing properties - will be in Killarney this coming Monday.

The Killarney St Pio Prayer Group meets in the Church of the Resurrection at 7.15pm on the third Monday of each month. Usually they have the Rosary, Mass, Benediction and a blessing with one of the St Pio relics.

This Monday evening however, there will be a blessing with St Pio’s glove from 7.15pm on and all are welcome to come along.

Saint Pio of Pietrelcina as he is known, is believed to have performed many miraculous healings down through the years. Padre Pio wore many gloves over this time to cover his stigmata which, devotees believe, corresponded with Christ's crucifixion wounds.

"Many Irish people have great devotion to St Pio," Michael Clifford from the group told the Killarney Advertiser.

"Many go on pilgrimage to San Giovanni to pray at his coffin. St Pio lived in the monastery in San Giovanni until his death in September 1968."
