Relics of St Padre Pio, a Capuchin priest who bore the stigmata of Jesus, will be on public display in several US dioceses and archdioceses in May and again in the autumn.

The Saint Pio Foundation announced that the tour corresponds with the 130th anniversary of the Italian-born saint's birth.

The tour will include 12 locations nationwide starting on May 6-8 at the Cathedral of Ss Peter and Paul in Philadelphia.

Hours that each site will be open for veneration and other events related to the tour were to be announced by each diocese.
