Pray, Hope, and Donut Worry: Celebrating St. Padre Pio

In this episode of Living LIT—for the Little Church You Call Home, we celebrate the life and feast day of St. Padre Pio, a beloved saint known for his deep holiness, stigmata, gift of confession, and constant call to prayer. Padre Pio’s simple but powerful words—“Pray, hope, and don’t worry”—still speak straight to our hearts today.Together we’ll learn who St. Padre Pio was, why the Church holds him up as a model of faith, and how we can bring his feast day alive in our homes with simple, joyful traditions. You’ll never look at donuts the same way again after hearing how his famous phrase has inspired a playful family way to Live LITurgical: “Pray, Hope, and Donut Worry.”
