The event will take place on Sunday September 18, 2011 and will begin with the Holy Mass at 11:00 AM celebrated by Father Raniero Alessandrini during which the singer John Joseph Toress Iole will sing the “Ave Maria”. A procession with the Saint will follow led by Maestro Joseph Sapia’s band.

Lunch will be at "Casa Italiana" (Adults $ 45.00, children from 3 to 12 $25.00) with dances and music of “Duo Domino”. For all those who haven’t reserved yet, please do it as soon as possible calling the President Maria Bruno (818- 241-4672) or sending a check to “Santo Padre Pio Society” 1401 Irving Ave., Glendale, CA 91201. The officers, the committee and all the members invite the Italian community to participate to this event. If for some reason you can’t stay for lunch, please try to come at the Holy Mass to honor the Saint.

We would also like to remind you that, on September 23, the anniversary of the Saint’s death, a Mass will be celebrated at 6:00. Always with Padre Pio in our hearts, best regards .
