Fundamental rules to create a Prayer Group:

  • Choose a priest, who will become the Spiritual Assistant of the Group.
  • Get in touch with the Bishop of the Diocese to which the Group will belong and seek the Bishop’s approval for the Spiritual Leader and the new Group.
  • Appoint a Group’s Leader, a Vice-Leader and a Secretary.
  • Fill out the registration form and send it to the International Centre of the Padre Pio Prayer Groups in San Giovanni Rotondo.

Anybody can join a Group by attending the scheduled meetings. There are no registration fees.

Any changes related to place, spiritual assistants, Group’s Leader or the Direction must be communicated to the International Centre of the Padre Pio Prayer Groups in San Giovanni Rotondo, filling out the Group Data Update Form.
