About Santi Donato e Carpoforo
Saints Donato and Carpoforo, patrons of Novedrate
Saints Donato and Carpoforo, martyrs who died in the 3rd century, are the protectors of Novedrate, a municipality in the province of Como in the heart of Brianza. The parish named after them, part of the San Paolo della Serenza Pastoral Community, celebrates the patronal feast on the first Sunday of September and the week surrounding it.
A week of celebration
The programme intertwines religious and community dimensions. The heart of the celebration lies in the solemn liturgical celebrations, with the main Mass at 10 am and the traditional procession. Community events unfold around the parish: the feast day lunch, tombola, activities for children, and solidarity initiatives. In recent editions, fundraising has also been allocated to the restoration of the parish church roof, a sign of shared commitment that combines devotion and heritage care.
Identity of Serenza
For the Municipality of Novedrate and the Province of Como, the feast of Saints Donato and Carpoforo is the most cherished event in the local calendar, capable of bringing the entire community together in faith, tradition, and conviviality at the beginning of autumn.
