Michael & Lisa Reali

Michael and Lisa Reali, longtime supporters of Rosa Mystica Shrine, are a devoted husband-and-wife team whose faith and generosity have deeply enriched the life of the Shrine.

Residents of Long Island, Michael and Lisa have been active in fostering devotion to St. Padre Pio (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) for many years. Together, they helped establish and lead a Padre Pio prayer group, bringing others into a deeper life of prayer, trust, and surrender to God’s will. Their involvement in Padre Pio prayer groups spans decades, both in New York and beyond  .

As the first married couple to serve as members of the Shrine, Michael and Lisa hold a special place in the history of Rosa Mystica. Their love for the Shrine’s mission—supporting priests, seminarians, and pilgrims—has been evident not only in their presence, but in their quiet and steadfast generosity.

In loving memory of their son, Joseph, Michael and Lisa funded the Shrine’s reliquarium, creating a sacred space for the veneration of holy relics and deepening the spiritual experience for all who visit. This beautiful offering stands as both a tribute to their son and a lasting gift to the faithful.

Their lives reflect the simple yet powerful words of Padre Pio: “Pray, hope, and don’t worry.” Through their witness, Michael and Lisa continue to inspire others to live with faith, devotion, and trust in God.
