Italy – On June 13, the Heralds of the Gospel participated in the procession in honour of St. Anthony held at the basilica dedicated to him in Padua. In Rome, the commemorations for the feast of St. Rita of Cassia took place on May 21 and 22, in the Church of San Benedetto in Piscinula, with times set aside for prayer and for Eucharistic Celebrations. During this period, Marian missions continued to be carried out in several Italian cities, including Anoia and Scoppito. The Pilgrim Statue also passed through Our Lady of the Assumption Parish of Borbiago just outside Mira, during the blessing of the fields for a good crop. – Photo: araldimissioni.it
