Shrine of St. Padre Pio

Who We Are

The Shrine of St. Padre Pio in San Antonio, Texas, is a welcoming and spirit-filled Catholic parish within the Archdiocese of San Antonio. Since celebrating our first Mass in 2001, we have grown into a vibrant community of faith, where families, individuals, and visitors are invited to encounter Christ, deepen their prayer life, and live out their purpose in the world.

What We Believe

As a Roman Catholic parish, we embrace the fullness of the Catholic faith, guided by the living Magisterium, Sacred Scripture, and Sacred Tradition. We believe in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, celebrate the sacraments as encounters with God’s grace, and seek to follow Christ in our daily lives. Our parish encourages a life rooted in prayer, active presence in the community, and purposeful mission to love and serve others.

Our Patron, St. Padre Pio

St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, canonized in 2002, inspires our parish through his life of holiness, prayer, and devotion to Christ in the Eucharist. Known for his compassion, spiritual wisdom, and dedication to God’s will, St. Padre Pio serves as a model for our parishioners, encouraging us to trust in God, serve the needy, and grow in holiness.

Here, parishioners gather to pray together, serve together, and joyfully live out their faith in Christ.
