St. Padre Pio chaplet

Pray the Chaplet of St. Padre Pio with this lovely set of beads. The nine 6mm dark blue faux pearls are carefully connected by hand with copper wire. On one end is a St. Padre Pio medal and on the other is a Byzantine-style crucifix. The back of the medal says "Pray for us." The chaplet is about 8 inches long, making it easy to take with you on the go. This is a wonderful gift for a Catholic friend or for yourself, especially if St. Padre Pio is your patron saint! St. Padre Pio's feast day is September 23. He is the patron saint of adolescents, civil defense volunteers, stress relief, and the city of Pietrelcina, Italy. Padre Pio lived from 1887-1968 and was canonized in 2002.
