Spiritual Child of St. Padre Pio for 15 Years
Adolfo Affatato at the tomb of Padre Pio. He knew Padre Pio for 15 years before Padre Pio died in 1968.
He met Padre Pio when he was 16 years old. Padre Pio called his name out of a group of men and told Adolfo "I have been waiting many years for you". This man chosen by Padre Pio came to the USA to share the words, wisdom and prayers of Saint Padre Pio. He is one of the last people alive today that had an extended personal relationship with Padre Pio. A Padre Pio stigmata glove was venerated at each presentation. Adolfo received the glove personally from Padre Pio. Adolfo said it was the first time in 41 years the glove has been outside his house. It was a great honor to have Adolfo, his wife Franca and the glove at each event.
