Religious communities across various Italian regions have organized several commemorative events and traditional pilgrimages.

In Manfredonia and Trani, scheduled activities include a novena and festival for the San Pio da Pietrelcina parish, as well as celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Madre Maria Carmela D’Amore. These events involve Holy Masses, processions, and spiritual reflections.

Additionally, pilgrimages have been held in the Terni-Narni-Amelia diocese at the Sanctuary of Madonna del Ponte and in Genoa Prà at the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora dell'Acquasanta. These gatherings feature solemn concelebrations and historical processions, such as the ‘A Madonna do Ciccioin a l'Æguasanta’, which highlights local maritime and peasant traditions through the use of sacred art and historical crucifixes.
