(Standard Newswire) – In an event celebrating the feasts of the stigmatics, Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina and Saint Francis of Assisi, Father Calvin Robinson and the leadership of Catholic Healthcare International (CHI) announced an initiative to replicate Pardre Pio’s Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza (Home for the Relief of Suffering Hospital) and create the world’s most faithful pro-life and pro-family medical school in Howell, Michigan.
In 1956, Saint Padre Pio’s call was to create a chain of hospitals around the world, caring for the sick and suffering, in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. From small donations, he developed the Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, which has grown into a major research medical center, now administered by The Vatican. CONTINUE
