About Feast of Saint Catherine

Every November 25th, the Municipality of Brissogne, in the Aosta Valley, celebrates its patron saint, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, to whom the parish church is also dedicated. The patronal feast combines the religious moment—the solemn mass and procession—with the community dimension, featuring the unmissable village dinner organized by the Pro Loco. An autumn event that renews the traditions and bonds of a small community at the foot of the Aosta Valley mountains.

Brissogne and its Patron Saint

The Municipality of Brissogne, in the province of Aosta, celebrates its patron saint, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, every year on November 25th. The village's parish church is also dedicated to her. The patronal feast is one of the most cherished events in the local calendar, an occasion for religious reflection as well as celebration for the entire community.

Between Faith and Community

The day traditionally opens with the solemn mass in honor of the Saint and the procession, followed by moments of conviviality that liven up the village. The Pro Loco of Brissogne organizes the unmissable community dinner—in previous years held at the Pacou multi-purpose center—with appetizers, tartiflette, and traditional Aosta Valley desserts, in a friendly and festive atmosphere.

A Tradition Renewed

The Feast of Saint Catherine represents a moment of strong identity for the small Municipality of Brissogne, in the Aosta Valley: an opportunity to come together, celebrate common roots, and pass down local traditions. Devotion to the patron saint is also evidenced by the care of the parish church, enriched over time by new lighting and interventions desired by the community.
