About Saint Eustace in Sesto Campano

In September, Sesto Campano, a town in Alto Molise on the border with Campania, celebrates its principal patron, Saint Eustace the Martyr. Three days of patronal feast with religious services, a procession, and civil celebrations, centered around the church of Saint Eustace, which dates back to the 13th century and was rebuilt in Neoclassical style in 1802. It is the event that closes the long Sesto Campano summer.

Saint Eustace, patron saint of Sesto Campano

Saint Eustace the Martyr is the principal patron saint of Sesto Campano, a municipality in the province of Isernia located on the border between Molise and Campania. His patronal feast in September is the most solemn moment of the year for the Sesto Campano community and ideally marks the end of the long season of summer events.

The Church of Saint Eustace

The heart of the celebrations is the Church of Saint Eustace, a building of 13th-century origin rebuilt in Neoclassical style in 1802. Around the patron saint revolves an ancient devotion, preserved and organized each year by the Comitato Festa Sant'Eustachio Martire (Saint Eustace the Martyr Festival Committee), which is active in preparing the three days of festivities.

Three days of patronal feast

The feast is spread over three days, featuring the solemn Mass and the procession of the saint through the town's streets, accompanied by civil celebrations: concerts, illuminations, stalls, and shows. It is an occasion when the entire community of Sesto Campano, including families returned from abroad, comes together around their patron saint.
