Father David
Sonora, Mexico

Father David Beaumont is a Capuchin missionary priest, who is walking in the footsteps of Padre Pio. Just like our favorite Saint, he felt a religious calling at a young age. He was an altar boy at 10 years old, entered the novitiate at 15 and was ordained into the Capuchin Order at 18.

As he prepared for priesthood at Our Lady of Angels Province in California, he was deeply touched by the plight of refugees from El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and migrant workers from Mexico.

LEARN HOW

Who is Padre Pio?

Padre Pio was born in the small Italian village of Pietrelcina, Italy in 1887. He was a humble Capuchin priest who became known around the world for his deep faith, powerful prayers, and the many miracles connected to him. He bore the stigmata, the five wounds of Christ Crucified, and for 50 years people from all walks of life came to him for guidance, healing, and hope.

Among his most important works was the hospital he built and called La Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza (The Home for the Relief of Suffering) which now stands proudly as an impressive 800+ bed hospital and research center next to his friary.

He died in 1968 and was canonized Saint Pio of Pietrelcina in 2002 but is still affectionately called Padre Pio.

He had an extraordinary gift for understanding the struggles of the human heart and always pointed people back to God’s mercy. Even now, through his intercession, people continue to experience physical and spiritual healing.
