To intensely experience the Centenary of the death of Saint Joseph Allamano as a family, we offer a VIRTUAL PILGRIMAGE to three places that were important to the Founder:
– the house in Castelnuovo Don Bosco, where he was born and raised;
– the Shrine of Saint Joseph Allamano in Turin, where his body rests;
– the Consolata Shrine, where he spent 46 years of his priestly life.
The pilgrimage will be conducted online via Meet videoconference to facilitate pilgrims’ participation, and will be offered in four languages: Italian, Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
WHO?
The pilgrimage is aimed at the Consolata Family: the IMC and MC communities, LMC groups, individuals and groups close to the Missionaries, and devotees of Saint Joseph Allamano.
