Religious activities and commemorations have been observed across various Italian locations. In Saronno, Monsignor Luca Raimondi noted the devotion of pilgrims at the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Miracles. Meanwhile, in Acerenza, the parish priest reported that the relic of Saint Canio moved toward a glass slit, an occurrence consistent with local traditions documented since 1779.

Further religious events include a planned pilgrimage to Lourdes organized by the Unitalsi Roman-Lazio section, expected to host approximately 1,600 pilgrims and several high-ranking clergy. Additionally, ceremonies are scheduled across Tonadico, Fiera di Primiero, Rovereto, and Trento to mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, featuring participation from Cardinal Blase Joseph Cupich.
