About St. Padre Pio Parish

The parish operates across two worship sites under one pastoral team: the Our Lady of Fatima church in Elba (65 South Main Street) and the St. Cecilia church in Oakfield (56 Maple Avenue). The parish is named for St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, the beloved Italian Capuchin priest known for his stigmata, holiness, and intercessory prayer. The unified parish structure has its roots in 2009, when the St. Cecilia church was established under the St. Padre Pio Parish umbrella according to GCatholic records.
