Our Padre Pio Prayer Group (PPPG-CK) invites you to a special presentation of Padre Pio Movie Day entitled “Pray to Saint Michael the Archangel” at the aforementioned date, time, location noted in the ATTACHED flyer. I, the Group Leader, PPPG-CK, will show both part of a DVD specific to the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel, Mont St. Angelo, Gargano Mountains cave, and will discuss my personal experience of being present in this holy cave during my pilgrimage with the Padre Pio Prayer Group, Cleveland, via a Powerpoint presentation. Padre Pio referred everyone to go there, whether they individually were dealing with their troubled souls or needed encouragement and strength in these troubled times. We should all take heed to Padre Pio’s advice and call upon St. Michael for help. Thus, we ask for you to take action in promoting this special presentation to your parishioners and visitors in all forms of publication (parish bulletin, bulletin board, social media, etc.) as often as possible in September, especially September 21-22, 2019, prior to the event, as many are in need of healing and hope. In addition, I will share witness of a recent ‘miraculous’ healing . Who do you know that would welcome hearing this ‘good’ news?
