It is said that Padre Pio bi-located during World War II to protect certain sites. There are stories from pilots who saw him hovering in the air.

My late father in law was witness to a bilocation of Padre Pio. As a young man, he was an altar boy, and very devout (& remained so throughout his life, I might add, touching many lives, including mine).

He attended Manhattan College,in NYC, for both prep school and college, graduating in 1948. One morning he came in to church a little early to get ready, and he was surprised to see a priest already there. He helped him prepare for mass, and when all was ready, the priest held out his ring, and Dad kissed it. When mass was over, the nuns, who were in attendance, and had watched the whole thing, came excitiedly over to him and told him that that was Padre Pio.

After his death, cleaning out his apartment, I came across many faded articles and clippings of Padre Pio among his papers.

My father in law was an upstanding citizen, a man of God, and integrity, and not given to hyperbole, or drama. He told this family story only a few times, but it was well known by the family, and he never waivered from its details.
