Coming from Pula, where it arrived last June 1st, the heart of San Pio da Pietrelcina, enclosed in a case, landed this morning in La Maddalena where it will remain until tomorrow evening June 8th.

He is accompanied by the Capuchin friars of the convent of San Giovanni Rotondo, where the relic is kept. His presence - for the first time in Sardinia, a few years ago the habit of the Saint of Pietrelcina had arrived - was strongly desired by Father Roberto Sardu , regional manager of the many prayer groups that have arisen especially in recent years in Sardinia.

The mayor Fabio Lai, the parish priest Don Andrea Domanski and the bishop of Ozieri Msgr. Corrado Melis who is celebrating a solemn mass tonight. The heart of San Pio is displayed in the church of Santa Maria Maddalena. Here, between meditations and masses, moments of great devotion are being experienced for what this increasingly popular and beloved saint represents for many faithful.

To facilitate the arrival of the faithful and devoted to the Saint , the Delcomar shipping company applies a discount for residents on the ticket price, while the Municipality does not charge the landing fee.
