Pianopoli-September 6, In two hundred people took part in the pilgrimage organized by the municipality of Padre Pio and the Pro Loco. Four buses crammed with children, youth and elders reached San Giovanni Rotondo to visit the most beautiful of the friar with the stigmata. Entire families were able to venerate the body of the saint of Pietrelcina (Benevento), displayed in a glass case since last April, under the program of celebrations for the 40th anniversary of the death (1968) and for the 90th anniversary of the stigmata (1918). "A unique event - said Mayor Gianluca Cuda - that the whole town wanted to join considerably, driven by faith to become stronger and believe in prayer." Immediately after the morning
stay in San Giovanni Rotondo, the faithful went to the town of Monte Sant'Angelo, Gargano (Puglia), to proceed to the famous sanctuary dedicated to San Michele.
"They were moments - he continued the mayor - lived with deep spirituality, which have enriched our souls with joy, hope and selflessness."

Pianopoli Great participation of the population of the pilgrimage last weekend in San Giovanni Rotondo to visit the remains of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. Ben Pianopoli 210 citizens, under the leadership of Mayor Gianluca Cuda and the priest Monsignor Thomas Buccafurni, paid homage to the remains of the saint with stigmata. Pianopoli is no stranger to such initiatives, in fact, on other occasions Cuda organized pilgrimages to places where people have spent their lives then sanctified. The day marked a time of social gathering and reflection. So was the work of the organizers, for the occasion offered a hearty breakfast prepared by chef Frank Muraca assisted by the chairman of the local Pro Loco Gianfranco Nanci. The wait in line for the large group arrived from Pianopoli was not long in silence and finally, we managed to pay homage to the saint. Everyone has given to St. Pius their anxieties, their thoughts, everyone's health will certainly ask for themselves and their loved ones. Then the community pianopoletana consumed lunch in the company and has returned home. Do not you forget the curious coincidence with the birthday of the young mayor. On the way back there was also an opportunity to visit the Church of San Michele, a small town in Puglia, dug into the tufa has left speechless pilgrims. Upon arrival at the course in Rome around midnight Pianopoli a spontaneous applause of the faithful was directed to Cuda in Buccafurni to Muraca and Nanci, as well as the Saint of Pietrelcina who got a day of joy, of celebration and meditation to citizens of Pianopoli.
