Religious community events held in Barletta and Materdomini

The Spirito Santo parish in Barletta is organizing a Thanksgiving Festival on November 8, 2026. The event is designed to express gratitude for agricultural harvests and honor the labor of local farmers. The program includes an Eucharistic celebration at 11:45 AM, followed by a social gathering in the parish courtyard featuring typical local agricultural products.

In Materdomini, the parish community of Trinità di Piano di Sorrento conducted a pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of San Gerardo Maiella. The pilgrimage marks the tricentennial of the birth of San Gerardo Maiella, the patron saint of mothers and children. Participants visited significant sites within the sanctuary, including the room where the saint died in 1755, and viewed historical panels and bronze doors documenting the sanctuary's history.
