WATERTOWN -- On Friday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. EDT, the CatholicTV Network will broadcast live the Mass from Boston's Cathedral of the Holy Cross on the Feast of St. Padre Pio. The Mass, celebrated by Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley, is part of a relic tour of the heart of St. Padre Pio in the Archdiocese of Boston.
