Father Peter Ekow Kaitoo blesses penitent Angela Kissane of Westchester, New York, in Anthony Faina’s car at the Rosa Mystica House of Prayer on Sept. 12, 2026, in Edmeston, New York. Fuina picked up a hitchhiker who prayed over Fuina and healed his cancer in the 1990s. Fuina believes that hitchhiker was Padre Pio.

Hidden in the hills of upstate New York, Rosa Mystica draws pilgrims with an unusual Padre Pio story and a mission centered on prayer for priests.
